A Tall Tale

Deutschland Iran 2016 Kurz-Experimentalfilm

Summary

"A thin crack extending from the roof, down the front of the building, and into the adjacent lake," notes the narrator as he arrives at the House of Usher, thus opening up a parallel between the Irish setting of Maya Schweizer’s cinematic association and Edgar Allen Poe’s classic tale of horror. Orson Welles and other cinematic ghosts seem to lead the spectator of "A Tall Tale" onwards, passing through a landscape of ruins and films and ruins of films that evoke phantoms and fairies.
