Himorogi
This short film by Marina and Alessio Pierro was inspired by the way that Walerian Borowczyk would project photographs and drawings onto a transparent screen, the dust and and smoke-filled light becoming an almost tangible part of the experience. A 'Himorogi' is a sacred space or altar, and this one pays homage to Borowczyk's visionary cinema.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Himorogi (2012) *** (out of 4) Alessio and Marina Pierro made this seventeen-minute short film as a homage to director Walerian Borowczyk whom Marina worked with several times. This film was meant to pay respect to the various visual styles that Borowczyk brought to his movies and for the most part I'd call it a success. If you're looking for some sort of story then you're really not going to find one because this is one of those films were there are just a bunch of images and I personally didn't draw any sort of story from it. It's worth nothing that the movie is exceptionally beautiful to look at as the images are really captured perfectly with the great cinematography. The music score by Borowczyk regular Bernard Parmegiani is also excellent and it turned out to be his final work.
