Mare’s Tail
“Mare’s tail” is the term used in England for elongated, fraying clouds resembling a horse’s tail that herald a coming rain. And just as one must learn to first see this symbol and then interpret it, David Larcher teaches us cinematic seeing in a kind of creation story of visual representation, which is at the same time a section of the director’s own history, bathed in the period colours of late 1960s.
