A quick snap with a little point and shoot. Make me realize that have all the fancy digital SLR equipment isn’t always required for making good art.

Jiri Kylian’s Car Men

One of the major Czech TV stations, CT2, plays all kinds of interesting stuff and tonight I happened to catch Jiri Kylian’s Car Men (2006). Jiri Kylian is a Czech choreographer and this film is a collaboration with dutch filmmaker Boris Paval Conen and the Nederlands Dance Theater. The result is something between completely amazing and unnervingly trippy.

The actors/dancers are all in their 40′s and bring an eerie playfulness the art house indie film. Conen combine many interesting film techniques, including speed ups, slow mos, and rewinds, to accentuate the choreography and mess with the tempo.

It is both hard to watch and impossible to take your eyes off of.

You can rent it at Netflix.com
