Lulu1996
Initially commissioned to accompany a Danish production of Alban Berg’s LULU, Lewis Klahr’s cut-out animation refigures the opera's themes in a torrent of images. With an ever-inventive approach to color and symbol, Klahr distills the title character's moral predicament, along with a great many of German Expressionism’s characteristic motifs, in the span of a pop song.

Watching this makes me want to be a German Expressionist, free coherence yet bound to symbolism.
anything with edie gets thousands of stars, of course.
