Summary:

One of the most remarkable filmmakers from Holland, Frans Zwartjes created a singular body of work in the late sixties and seventies that typically placed strange mannequin-like figures, seemingly imagined yet clearly with a life of their own, in simple situations that become inbued with angst like a slow spreading stain which ultimately engulfs them in waves of arousal and menace.
