Cookie Blues

Owen and Zoe, the circus owners, leave their daughter Mackenzie and their circus in the hands of Chesterfield the Clown to secure a global cookie distribution deal — and chaos ensues. Mackenzie turns into a monkey during her high-wire act, losing her human form and her magic cookie. In a desperate attempt to save her, the entire circus embarks on a quest to find the source of magic that can reverse the transformation and bring Mackenzie back to her family.

This is an excellent short film directed by BunCactus and Alybaba. It proclaims the incident that a cookie was stolen from a cookie jar whilst simultaneously showing the audience the importance of staying present in the moment and opening your ears to new sounds. The beautiful combination of music and camera-work further helps us to understand the meaning behind this masterpiece.

A pregnant woman has a sudden craving for cookies in the middle of the night.

O, more, more! (Russian: О, море, море!, lit. The sea, oh the sea) is a 1983 Soyuzmultfilm's animated satirical film directed by Yefim Gamburg. It tells the story of young men and women on vacation. They are constantly separated by various circumstances, including the fantastic and phantasmagoric onces, but at the end they finally marry. O, more, more! parodies Soviet popular culture, i.e. popular music (Italian song "Amore-more-more..."), sugary wedding photos and souvenirs, the maniac hunt for the foreign brands and clothes (such as jeans), primitive Soviet pornography, and the cult of material prosperity.

Who loves whom in Così fan tutte, Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s cruelly comic reflection on desire, fidelity and betrayal? Or have the confusions to which the main characters subject one another ensured that in spite of the heartfelt love duets and superficially fleetfooted comedy nothing will work any longer and that a sense of emotional erosion has replaced true feelings? Così fan tutte is a timeless work full of questions that affect us all. The Academy Award-winning director Michael Haneke once said that he was merely being precise and did not want to distort reality. In only his second opera production after Don Giovanni in 2006, he presents what ARTE described as a “disillusioned vision of love in an ice-cold, realistic interpretation”.
