Wholphin No. 6
The sixth issue of Wholphin features a documentary about a class of Chinese third graders who hold a democratic election for classroom monitor and end up hilariously, if unintentionally, mocking 300 years of American politics; a beautifully black, comic exploration of 70s England that isn’t, but could easily be, the prequel to A Clockwork Orange; a surreal dating short starring Michael Cera, with alternate audio versions featuring John Cleese and Daniel Handler; a Herzog-ian documentary about the lives of America’s top bigfoot hunters, researchers and enthusiasts; stunning footage of rarely-seen tropical reptiles and insects, who are amazing beautiful to watch, even when they’re eating each other head first; a Roddy Doyle adaptation; a top secret government film on the assassination of the president; great white shark and surfboard attacks; and a miniature seeing-eye horse.
13 Films. 141 minutes.
