The Bewitching of the Blue Sailors is a German experimental film made up of confusing collages. The film is 50 minutes long and quotes the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire.
content
Oettinger and Blumenschein, the authors, commented on the content and aim of the film: "A siren, a Hawaiian girl, two sailors, an old bird, a young bird, two other sailors, the Greek god Tunte, an old American star, a Russian silent film mother and a nymph of German romanticism appear in the film. "
The aim of the authors Oettinger and Blumenschein: "We want to discover reality, including poetic reality, with impunity / describe other forms of life / invent completely new worlds / new people, new hermaphrodites, whatever occurs to us / we demand the identification of the viewer / be moral engagement in situations that lie beyond good and evil, blur the fixed points and constants of his worldview / We kidnap the viewer into psychological no man's land. "
Tabea Blumenschein plays four different roles. She is a mythical figure who pervades the film on desert sand accompanied by sirens and Asian music. It also depicts a bird killed by a Hawaiian girl, and ultimately a sailor killed by the same girl.
