SOFT PALATE

Compared to his earlier Disney deconstruction Shadow Cuts, Soft Palate is a more solitary and fragmented affair − literally, as it rhythmically builds Mickey’s sleeping body out of the darkness of his bedroom one body part at a time, revealing hands and mouth and tongue all set to Arnold’s fabricated sense of the Mouse’s hypnotic nighttime whistle-snore.

This film is part of the program Films by Martin Arnold.
