Description
1 film reel (14 min.) : sd., b&w/col.; 16 mm.
Summary
Live action and a melange of animation styles - cut-out, claymation, and pixilation - are used in this nightmarish view of a soccer game seen through the eyes of an army officer. In this macabre match where "taking out a man" is taken in its most literal sense, the players score goals by inflicting gruesome and deadly tortures on their opponents. Balls bang off a phalanx of coffins readied for the casualties.
