Marsupilami 'facilis descensus averni' (easy is the decent into hell)

Описание: NOW WITH SUBTITLE LYRICS (ENABLE CC)

One of the first short music films ever produced to illustrate a record track, this film was made in 1969 on a nonexistent budget. My associate and flat mate, Peter Smith was the photographer commissioned to shoot the album cover and I went along with a 16 mm wind-up film camera and less than 5 minutes of film to a Somerset Farm to shoot this experimental film, my first. The final cut is actually longer than the amount of film shot and was padded out by filming some of Peter's stills and adding them in here and there.
The colour has suffered a bit over the 40 some years but it was always oddly coloured, rather fashionable in the hippy days of the 60's so it makes little difference.
