Bye Bye Monkey
|
Marco Ferreri's 'Bye Bye Monkey' is a masterpiece of anarchic cinema. With its bizarre, highly symbolic story of a man (Depardieu) who attempts to father a monkey he finds in the palm of a huge dead ape lying dead on the beach. What is most astonishing about the film is the way it becomes moving in such a primal, illogical way... Great art is almost always anarchic to an extent and goes against logic, convention or any other form of calculation. The images in Ferreri's film take on a new kind of power, the hypnotic scenes soar in such a way that rarely seems possible, and we are reminded that great art creates its own logic. Ferreri also achieves a kind of beautiful tone that is entirely his own: symbolic and yet intimate, haunting and exaggerated, realistic in its portray of surrealism. It's a somber, nihilistic film that achieves a clarity not often seen in symbolism, everything that happens in the film seems expected, regardless of how bizarre it may seem.
He has managed to find an anarchic logic.
