Effective Surrealism, 26 May 2006
8/10

This short surrealistic work uses manipulated images and dance to evoke the "banal tragedy" of war---and how its effects cross cultural and national boundaries. I found that evocation very effective. There are certainly plenty of movies about Nazi Germany, and a fair number about Tibeten Buddhism, but God Wears My Underwear provides a new historical and emotional perspective that I found valuable and powerful.

Surrealism is an underutilized form these days, which is a shame, given the technological capacity we have now. The manipulated images in this film, mixed effectively with historical footage, are an example of of the possibilities, within a short narrative work.

I hope to see more work by Streit and McCain.
