Guardando las apariencias
Production Design
Para Wilhelmina "Wil" Pang, neoyorquina de 28 años, la vida es una representación de juegos malabares entre una prometedora carrera como cirujana y sus responsabilidades como hija obediente. Al igual que la línea 7 del metro que la lleva a visitar a su familia china una vez por semana, Wil está permanentemente en tránsito entre dos mundos. Las expectativas de la sociedad de Flushing, Queens, de la que procede, y su propio deseo de alejarse de ella han logrado que Wil esté satisfecha con la vida paralela que ha optado llevar, a pesar de que ello conlleve un involuntario juego de charadas con su madre viuda y el viejo mundo que ésta representa.

María es una estudiante a la que su novio, que sólo piensa en triunfar en el deporte, ha dejado embarazada. Cuando su padre se entera, muere de un infarto. Mathew es un especialista en electrónica: fatalista, desilusionado y violento. Repudiada por su madre y por su novio, María se cruza con Mathew, cuando acaba de abandonar violentamente su trabajo y la casa de su padre, un hombre riguroso y obsesivo. En poco tiempo se convierten en una pareja estable, pero ya se encargará la vida de demostrarles que las cosas no son tan sencillas como parecen.
He Was Once
Art Direction
This bizarre parody of the animated religious children’s show Davey and Goliath uses actors but looks like Claymation because of the stop motion, distorted voices, giant prosthetic ears and hair and sets that make Pee-Wee’s Playhouse look realistic. Davey’s father whips him with a belt for saying that he saw a bear, though he really did see a bear, while his sister looks on in glee. His dog Goliath, actually a leopard-skin footrest with a grotesque tail, tries to help but gets whipped too. Oedipal dream sequences and Davey’s revenge are also highlights in this unforgettable and darkly hilarious suburban nightmare.
