To Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles Paris, 17 March 1932 Very dear friends, I’ve been wanting to write to you for some time now – since receiving Charles’s letter – but these last few days I’ve been very busy with endless surrealist complications. I’m also tied up with ‘dubbing’ work for Paramount. I spoke to Giacometti the other day about the surprise Charles mentioned in his letter: he has agreed to prepare it with me and we’ll keep you informed. As for Crevel, he told me he would write to you. He came for supper at my home on Sunday, with Mrs Cuevas and Ortiz. Naturally, we spoke of nothing all night but the latest complications with the group. For rather complicated reasons, a new splinter group has formed consisting this time of Aragon, Sadoul, Unik, Alexandre, Giacometti and me. This split was caused by the publication of Breton’s Poetry’s Misery. Dalí wrote to me from Cadaqués: he now represents the extreme right wing of surrealism. It’s all so sad and you can imagine the terrible time we are having. Frankly, the Marseille business did not go well. That Mr Castelli took two months to decide to pay me 2,000 francs, and I see from your letter that the takings came to 13,000. The same with Belgium and Holland. As they don’t want to pay me more than 1,000 francs per screening, I’ve spent the last month writing to them. Everyone has the same excuse: limited screenings due to censorship. I should like to know what you think, and whether you would prefer I just keep the film with me here, rather than let it go at that price. I still think that had the censors not intervened we would have recovered the production costs; Braunberger was saying the same thing a few days ago. The film has also been requested by Prague. If you have a moment to write, I’d be grateful for more specific details about the kind of surprise you would like so that we can get on with our preparation. It goes without saying that we’ll try to do the best possible job. The other evening after dinner we played some poetic games and René was lamenting that Marie-Laure was not with us, because she would have loved it. Mrs Cuevas was truly inspired and wanted to carry on and wash the dishes. Only a titanic struggle on our part dissuaded her. There are no major novelties as far as films go. There was a magnificent Eddie Cantor film, Palmy Days. Renoir’s film The Bitch, is very well made and has a very good cast. In my opinion, it’s the best French film in recent years. I went to see Orpheus by Offenbach and found it admirable. A play, Pains of Youth, has caused great commotion among the surrealists, especially Breton; but I prefer Wedekind. It’s the same genre, of course, but with that unpleasant so-called ‘post-war’ touch. Wedekind filtered through the Treaty of Versaille. I got Nora’s letter and want to write back at once. Do let her know and send her my thanks in advance. Love to Laure and Nathalie and all my friendship to you both, Luis

SKINAMARINK - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: IFC Midnight | Shudder

SYNOPSIS:  Two children, Kaylee and Kevin, wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing. All the windows and doors in their home are gone. Trying to cope with this strange situation, they bring pillows and blankets to the living room and settle into a quiet slumber party as they play well worn cartoon videotapes to fill the silence of the house and distract from their frightening and strange situation. They hope and try to have some grown-ups come to rescue them, but to no avail. After a while it becomes clear that someone or something in the house is watching over them.

REVIEW: Filmmaker Kyle Edward Ball makes his feature film directorial debut with SKINAMARINK, a nightmarish paranormal thriller about two siblings trapped in their home by a sinister presence. If the viewer invests themselves in the film, it provides an intense melancholic atmosphere that builds tension with a mind boggling threat.

The plot for SKINAMARINK is simple and exceptionally spellbinding. Two small children are placed in a bizarre situation. There is limited dialogue, we never get to know them yet we perceive their innocence. Some of the dialogue is present as subtitles, some of the lines are present just at the level of perception. So there are times we don’t clearly hear the speaker and our minds are left to make sense out of what we’ve heard. Did we hear it correctly, or is there something else going on? The plot keeps much of what is going on to the viewers imagination. As such, there is nothing more terrifying than what we can conjure in our minds. At times the viewer can feel like Det. David Mills in the film “Seven” who questions, “What’s in the box” as we ponder what the hell is going on here, knowing we’re not going to like the answer.

Likewise, the film is unconventionally shot at odd angles and there are scenes where the encroaching darkness feels like a veil. Again, the viewer’s imagination struggles to fill in the blanks. As we gaze into the darkness we strain our perception to discern if there is something lurking there? Without a score, Ball skillfully manipulates images and the sound design to keep the viewer off balance. He takes the contemporary safety of a home and deconstructs into a nightmarish fairytale landscape that is a psychological minefield as he probes our emotions. There were times the early films of David Lynch came to mind, or black and white films like Robert Wise’s “The Haunting” or Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “Vampyr.” However, I get the impression that Ball has a unique understanding of the psychological elements of film and he skillfully exploits the elements at his disposal to impact the conscious and subconscious.

SKINAMARINK is unquestionably an art house, experimental film. The filmmaker, Kyle Edward Ball, delivers an emotional and psychological thrill ride. The crescendo renders the viewer bewildered, feeling like something has been taken from them. I will admit that as a parent, a father, and a brother the film might have had a bigger impact on me given my circumstances. Still, if you make a commitment to take the ride there is no way to escape even the meagerest emotional and psychological effects of the film. Ball has a red thumb when it comes to planting and harvesting a bountiful garden of nightmares. I’m eager to see what he serves up next.

CAST: Lucas Paul, Dali Rose Tetreault, Ross Paul, and Jaime Hill. CREW: Director/Screenplay/Editor - Kyle Edward Ball; Cinematographer - Jamie Mcrae; Executive Producers - Edmon Rotea, Ava Karvonen, Bonnie Lewis, Alan Lewis, Josh Doke and Jonathan Barkan.
