Butterfly Of Love (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #3 extract: Butterfly Of Love (2003)

Butterfly of Love. Wow... what the fuck? This is an absolutely stunning experimental film that manipulates Kurosawa's Rashomon with split screen to produce an indescribably beautiful, sometimes horrifying, special effects scene. 

Looked at through the guise of the original picture, this short expands upon Kurosawa's manipulation of truth, human behaviors and reality through mesmerising cinematic language. Whilst I wouldn't want to see this effect applied to the entire movie, this short is certainly a poignant companion piece to a masterpiece that has completely blown me away.
