New Arrival Happer’s Comet w/SLIP USED

Following his acclaimed debut HAM ON RYE, Tyler Taorminas hypnotic follow-up is a midnight mosaic that reveals a suburban town steeped in alienation. Its the middle of the night, but things are far from quiet; as the camera peers into the late-night happenings of various residents, we witness a number of them quietly escape into the dark… on rollerblades. Drawing on 1960s European art cinema and 1990s kids TV in equal measure, HAPPER’S COMET presents striking individual vignettes that unfurl like a collective dream. Mesmerizing and meditative, the film solidifies Taorminas gift for transforming everyday banality into uncanny cinema.
