Last kiss

MARTIN ARNOLD is one of the bigger names is contemporary art cinema. His approach is intensely formalist, in the structuralist tradition. This is a short segment from his 1998 film ALONE. LIFE WASTES ANDY HARDY, which re-edits footage from the ANDY HARDY film series orginally made between 1937 and 1958.

The stutter-jerk technique developed by ARNOLD is a doorway toward exploring classic Hollywood cinema, in order to reveal, in ARNOLD's words, "something behind that which is being represented, which was not represented."
