Viewing Notes
It’s cool that FF@Home has the silent films* included but holy cow what is up with the shitty transfer for this one?! Like watching a live action Manet painting. Fortunately I’ve seen this short plenty of times so it didn’t matter but wow.
The House of Water score was the primary reason I wanted to view this but it really doesn’t gel with this film. Sounded great thru my system but didn’t care for on this movie.
*Part of The silent film series with GroundUp Music, five silent film classics reimagined by five different artists from the label. They are world Premiering on FF @ Home and include the 1924 Soviet silent classic AELITA: QUEEN OF MARS with a new score by Snarky Puppy’s Chris Bullock, House of Waters with the three shorts MENILMONTANT (1926), LE VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE (1902), and BALLET MECANIQUE (1923); PRD Mais with WAXWORKS (1924); Sirintip with THE LOST WORLD (1925); and Bob Lanzetti with NOSFERATU (1922).
