Spacelan1and Conspirators Of Pleasure

The meeting point between live action and animation is fertile ground for a filmmaker’s imagination. Jan Svankmaier has been there before and, in Conspirators Of Pleasure (below), he again unleashes the weird and wonderful from his wardrobe of the surreal. Space Jam (right), however, is more in the Who Framed Roger Rabbit? league, as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the Looney Tunes crew call on the talents of Michael Jordan to help them beat a bunch of cartoon aliens in a basketball game. Space Jam goes on general release on Fri 27 Mar; Conspirators Of Pleasure plays the Edinburgh Fi/mhouse, Fri 2 7—25 Mar, and the MacRobert Arts Centre, Stirling, on Sun 30 Mar. See reviews, page 23.
