Carabosse poster

Released in 1980, Carabosse is a notable film directed by Lawrence Jordan.

What it’s about. Animation, also of a new order in the recent series of short works. Mostly on black space, the figures in blue perform a very compact and jewel-like opera in surreal form, again to Satie’s piano music. Ideally, the film should be projected on a 30" wide white card sitting on a music stand, center stage of a large auditorium or music hall, with sound from the projector piped into the big speaker system. The film is most effective this way, but can be shown normal-size also

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.2/10, Carabosse has proved divisive with audiences.
