A video essay by Noah Teichner reduces Frank Tashlin's THE GEISHA BOY (1958) to its pregnant moments, encoded at random into a fleeting succession of keyframes. Part of the Notebook's tribute to Jerry Lewis: http://mubi.io/2DMM5H4
This piece is the immediate product of an enraptured first viewing of THE GEISHA BOY (1958) by means of a HD rip that was the final stop on a trajectory from VistaVision to Blu-ray. In a process that I like to think of as being somehow akin to those single-reel Super 8 “digests” or “cut-downs” of Hollywood productions that circulated in the years before VHS, a feature film is reduced here to its highlights—its “pregnant moments” encoded at random into a fleeting succession of keyframes.
