This 35mm film grew out of distinct periods in Simmons's photographic work. Vintage child-craft puppets enact the pain and regret that erupt between two feuding families. A female ventriloquist dummy sings about the failures of attachment and communication to her five dummy suitors.
In three acts, a cast of puppets, ventriloquist dummies, inanimate objects perched on human legs, and Meryl Streep (!) enact a curiously poignant song-and-dance cycle of jealousy, regret, love, and longing that imbues Simmons’s uncanny materials of choice—captured by acclaimed cinematographer Ed Lachman—with raw human emotion.
