274. P like Pelican (1972)

 

Country: Iran

Directed by Parviz Kimiavi


I always liked the short films of Parviz Kimiavi. The way that the realism is blended there with dreamy, surreal elements, their slightly avant garde style but also their symbolic, allegorical nature that is not always easy to decode. Is P like Pelican a film about our fruitless search for comfort, relief, purification, serenity? It's a movie about God? Or about the cruel and deceptive essence of existence that we never can escape from ? No exact answers are given but this is the way it should be: life doesn't give exact answers too
