Bressanes second London film shot in six days in his apartment I had seen the French avantgarde films of the 1920s and naturally the title cites Breton But underneath it can also be read in many ways It is a cinema that is invented on the spur of the moment like you invent an instrument to play music and then abandon it This film came out like an improvisation a total risk It is a deconstruction of meaning but not in the analytical intellectual sense I have always tried to lose myself with my films There is no trace of American or French underground cinema If anything it is the idea of home movies there were many ideas for digital films long before digital film existed This film made itself it was like a jazz improvisation Amor Louco is a lost object it doesnt speak any language it has no signs no letters no captions And in the scene where the cataract is cut with the razor blade it was the adventure of the film itself that was put to the test
