Movie Reviews of KEANOSHOW A COLLECTION OF SHORT FILMS
Movie Review: The Quintessential moving pictures portfolio for Dave McKean
Summary: 5 Stars
Keanoshow features all of Dave McKean's moving pictures and film projects over the last decade. This compilation also features clips that Dave created while still in art college, and show a terrific mind working through creative expression while at university. This collection features some films that have previously been seen on VHS (The Week Before, [N]eon), as well as stuff that has never been seen by Dave fans before.
This dvd is split up into categories that showcase his short films, commercials, advertising, etc and feature quite a fine mix of examples of his genre-busting artworks.
My one nitpick with this DVD is I would have LOVED to have some kind of commentary by Dave on each of his pieces, but as it stands, I simply love that I can now own all of Dave's short films on one DVD and can re-watch them as many times as I need.
This is the perfect bookend to watch with "Mirrormask", and I can't recommend this release enough. It is the perfect moving pictures portfolio for my favorite visual artist of our generation.
Bravo to Dave for finally making this collection a reality.
Summary of KEANOSHOW A COLLECTION OF SHORT FILMS
In this stunning showcase of seventeen short works from designer, animator, and director Dave McKean (Mirrormask), surreal and evocative images combine with strange and original stories, to create a world of memory and dreams. Blending live-action, drawings, collage, and computer animation--the films included in this definitive collection share sensibilities with his award-winning comics (Sandman, Cages, Mr. Punch, Signal To Noise) and children?s books collaborations (The Wolves in the Walls, Coraline). From the disquieting ghost story "N[eon]" to the playful creation narrative "The Week Before", these films evoke both the earliest experiments in silent cinema, and the most contemporary of digital creations. The film ?Show + Tell? traces the evolution of McKean?s moving picture works, and his mall, trusted team that would progress to making feature films.
