Lamentations: A Monument for the Dead World (1985) dir. R. Bruce Elder
"Haven't we tried for that very reason to fill every moment of our time with noise and activity, no matter how trivial or boring in order to ensure that we just never have to be alone with this foreign I in the silence? Doesn't it allude to something fundamentally tragic in our way of life, we live in a neurotic fairytale world under an assumed identity that is no more real than the Mock Turtle from Alice in Wonderland, fascinated by the adventure of building we have built the house of life on sand, this world can seem wonderfully convincing until death shatters the illusion"
