Synopsis
The film adaptation of the legendary puppet show "Nothing" has created a strange new genre, where the relationship between puppets and their actors is even more vivid, as the viewer's gaze is guided by the camera. The fusion of close-ups and totals, of orchestral numbers recorded like clips, of meta-scapes shining through from the theatrical space, of the puppet and actor work in the performance, has resulted in an unusual youth television puppet show applied to the optics of the camera.
