Museum of Wax (1987)

The blackandwhite silent short Museum of Wax 19811987 is the more classically structured of Ludlams recovered films Fluently adopting a silentera cinematic language the vaudevillian narrative follows an escaped prisoner Ludlam who seeks refuge in a Coney Island wax museum The setup is a clever ploy to involve the rows of wax puppets and boxes of celebrity heads in a whimsical deracination of gender conventions
