The langauge is in Dutch, if anybody was wondering :)

I’ve been a Kharms fan since college! If you have a chance, check out “The Thing”, my favorite Kharms story. http://www.sevaj.dk/kharms/stories/thething.htm

This is different than how I imagined the tone of of Kharms’ work. I’ve always read it as very deadpan, while this film really highlights every word and phrase.

The way Kharms writes, he makes very odd things seem matter-of-fact. Instead, this film makes the matter-of-fact elements of the story seem odd, like the mention of “Polish” bringing out the Pope.

Weird.

Daniil Charms (german transcription) seems to nurture filmmakers’ fantasy. I’ve already seen one or two student films which animated one of his stories and expect more of those one day.
