Alec Guinness in The Horse's Mouth (Ronald Neame, 1958)

Cast: Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh, Renee Houston, Mike Morgan, Robert Coote, Arthur Macrae, Veronica Turleigh, Michael Gough, Reginald Beckwith, Ernest Thesiger, Gillian Vaughan. Screenplay: Alec Guinness, based on a novel by Joyce Cary. Cinematography: Arthur Ibbetson. Art direction: William C. Andrews. Film editing: Anne V. Coates. Music: Kenneth V. Jones.

The artist as mad eccentric is such a tired and familiar trope that artists should complain about it. But it remains true that the only way art can find new paths for itself is by going against the grain. It just remains to be seen how much anti-establishmentarianism one can get away with. Gulley Jimson gets away with a a lot -- theft, trespassing, and malicious destruction to start with -- in The Horse's Mouth, mainly because people think he's a genius (and his art a good investment). And in spite of his grubby egocentricity, there's something lovable about him -- at least the way Alec Guinness writes and plays him. The film doesn't really have much to say about the role of the artist in society or the venality of the art business beyond the obvious points, but director Ronald Neame keeps it buoyant with the help of Guinness and company, and with the especial help of Sergei Prokofiev, whose music for the film Lieutenant Kije (Aleksandr Faintsimmer, 1934), Kenneth V. Jones borrowed to great effect. Guinness was nominated for an Oscar for his adaptation of Joyce Cary's novel, to which he added the great visual gags of Abel's block of stone crashing through the floor into the apartment below and the Beeders and Alabaster being swallowed up when they unwittingly step out onto the rug placed over the resulting hole.

[objectum-posic-survey]

Objectum/POSIC Community Survey 2024

I'm running a survey of the Objectum/POSIC communities! It's running until May 1st 2024. This is born from my own curiosity, inspired by the Furry Survey demographics polls. The questions pertain to things like gender identity, orientation, forms of attraction, and objects of attraction. Fictos and alterhumans are encouraged to respond! being objectum or POSIC is not a requirement to submit a response

the only required questions are about the particular objectum/objectophile/POSIC terms you identify with and how old you are. again, this survey closes on May 1st!
