A lonely history teacher falls for an English teacher who was once his former student. Three days in the lives of the two, plus that of a literature instructor, are the subjects of this film that appeared at the 1969 Melbourne Film Festival. The history teacher deals with his wartime memories and takes care of his aging mother in addition to reaching out emotionally to the object of his affections. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

1976  
 
Loosely based on Vladimir Mayakovsky's satirical play about little people with overarching ambitions, this officially sponsored film mixes puppetry, live action and cartoons in order to tell its story. Organized in a highly self-referential style, and created in the form of a story-within-a-story, it tells simultaneously of the auditions for a role in a film, shows the film itself, and mixes in real and made-up documentary clips of a historical nature. Moving from 1920's music in the style of Kurt Weill into a rock-operatic mode, it is a fast-paced melange of symbolism, style, and storytelling. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
