Shiva Ree
1968 · 8 min
"No English language issues here. The title refers to Siva/Shiva – god of the dance – who dances the world into both destruction and rebirth, and Charivari, pronounced 'Shivaree', a rude serenade to mock wedding couples -i.e. mocking the concept of passion in balance with serenity. The film’s dancing child is our daughter Jennifer, now a middle aged school teacher and a likely Bodhisattva. She dances to escape and dispel the fragmentary seductions of TV, with its chaos of sound and image. Moving toward a window and the light, she sees and ponders the wind in the trees, as the final notes of Bill Evans’ 'Peace Piece' linger and fade." –Abbott Meader
