Britannia

The history of empire. A British bulldog answers his mistress's call. He tacks down the Union Jack to cover the British Isles, then begins playing with a small ball that's the world. At first it's innocent play. The dog discovers tea in India; then, the dog shakes gold out of Africa. Gradually, innocence gives way to more and more ferocious play with the ball. We see terrorized women and children as the dog becomes an enslaving potentate. Harmless English archetypes benefit from colonial riches. Then the world begins to grow, and the dog changes too, from bulldog to effete lap dog.

The Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea get the Lotte Reininger silhouette treatment in this lovely and funny adaptation of the old Greek myth. Pygmalion falls in love with his statue of a beautiful woman and his prayers are answered: she becomes a live woman -- in this case she transforms from part of the painted background into one of Reininger's silhouette figures. But Pygmalion, who has conventional ideas of how women should behave, finds that his creation has different ideas of what she wants....Lotte Reininger's silhouettes may be difficult to follow, since the aesthetics involved are different from standard movies: but the beauties of her details and her sense of humor should be enough to draw you in, should you be fortunate enough to see them.
