Last Supper 2009- Amautalab

Director:  Amautalab

Title: The Blindness Of The Woods

Genre: Narrative

Running Time:  12 minutes

 The Blindness of the Woods is a narrative presented with the naive simplicity of fairy tale and folklore, in the style of the Nordic Erotic Films of the Seventies. A sexually explicit love story unfolds between the cute woolen characters of  Ulrika (the blind woman) and Hans (the lumberjack) which is being witnessed by the voyeuristic character of  Bear Bjorn. This film inspires an uncertain yet enjoyable reaction in the audience, as they relate to this contradiction and the controversial nature of  both  the subject and its characters.
