1969 · Film · ★ 5.8
Released in 1969, Carna is a documentary film directed by Adriaan Ditvoorst, running about 10 minutes.
What it’s about. Although it was actually an impersonal commissioned film, the director's style is clearly recognizable. Once again he manages to make something that is normal very strange: the dancing people in costumes are filmed in such a way that they look bizarre and absurd. Jan de Bont's camerawork shows a series of color images of dancing people, edited to the rhythm of the music. Halfway through the film, a lonely clown can be seen among the dancing crowd, accompanied by sad music. This clown is played by Ditvoorst himself.
How it landed. With an audience score of 5.8/10, Carna has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
