The film's authorial method and its dark reading of Reconfiguration

texture · 8 Nov YDAU screening

When: Content of the film screened 8 Nov YDAU.
What: Mario deploys JOI's parodic devices — real-and-fake news-summary montage and historical headers for time-lapse exposition (083); the "Concavity Cabinet" meeting with Motown-girl cabinet puppets and Rodney Tine (086); Gentle "entr'acte" musical numbers (081, 091) — and comes down hard implicating O.U.S. Chief Rodney Tine as the real dark force behind Reconfiguration/de-mapping/the Concavity transfer, with Johnny Gentle a genial befuddled figurehead. His own touch: Gentle throwing surgical gloves to the crowd.
