Funny, mad, quick

An ugly sorceress steals the fetish (a skull) from two other weird-looking characters. Giselène Kérosène, the sorceress, "flies" away with her broom across the city streets, pursued by the two cretins. All this pursuit short film seems to have been shot (or edited) picture-by-picture: every character's moves are totally jerky. No doubt: Jan Kounen, the French director, has seen the Japanese film "Tetsuo" (an underground masterpiece be Shinya Tsukamoto). The long chase along the town streets is very similar, but more humorous in this case. The character's stupidity is a real pleasure to see, so are all these swift jolting broom travels. The make up, costumes and special effects are awesome. We recognize very well Jan Kounen's world, as we can experience it in "Vibroboy", another Kounen's mad shorts.

This one is actually very short, but hilarious. If you could find it anywhere, just watch it! You won't regret a little delirious moment!
