Moist
An eye-dazzling cinémontage...
Scenes and fragments dancing around the themes
of Sex and Death... Existential Angst... and Water.

Like the Chaplin scene it includes - it is a dance to the absurdity and joy of life!

See the trailer (and a low-res edited version of the film) on YouTube.

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themslves like locked rooms or books that are written in a foreign tongue. The point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live your way some distant day into the answers." - Rainer Maria Rilke

"...Reading these things psychologically, water is the subconscious...the creature in the water would be the dynamism of the
subconscious...
... The God of Death is the Lord of the Dance... The Lord of Death is the Lord of Sex at the same time...one after another you can see... Osiris, the Lord of Death and the Lord of the Generation of Life... it's a basic theme, that which dies is born... you have to have death in order to have life..."
- Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
