The Sandman (2000)
Directed by Stephen Quay, Timothy Quay, William Tuckett
Overview
One of several collaborative dance films by the Brothers Quay & (dancer, choreographer) William Tuckett. Little enough info around on line, but there’s briefly by way of Wikipedia entry. Adapted rather loosely from the works of the E.T.A. Hoffman. Familiar Quays’ tropes, much in evidence: automata, trompe l’oeil effects, etc. No credit on the sound design (which is fairly elaborate), tho’ that is possibly Larry Sider.
Length 41 minutes
Actors
Alice Krige | Zenaida Yanowsky | Heathcote Williams | Irek Mukhamedov | Tamara Rojo | Luke Heydon
