�The �sour� part--police
footage documenting the corpse of an accident victim--is made ironically
palatable by the addition of masks that block out the most gruesome part
of the frame, while pieces of �sweet� bits of old home movies are enriched
by handcoloring and looping. These two contrasting flavors alternate with
each other towards an ambiguous and elusive effect; the amusing material
grows funnier, the gruesome scenes more meditative.�

�Faccinto�s films emanate
auras like Kirlian photography. By ruthlessly probing his own fantasies
and obsessions, the filmmaker reflects some of the outrage and horror of
the world we live in.�
