Cookie Puss (1987)

Overview

The film is about a telephone conversation and a man´s chaotic search for Cookie Puss, on the run in Berlin. The mood shifts and the disjointed impressions of the two protagonists are shown in the coarse-grained texture and exaggerated contrasts of a documentary. The sound track, with its heaving panting, links the fragmented flow of images. Cookie Puss is conceived as a filmed live performance, shot in German sub cultural environment. In form, it closely resembles the anarchically charged British punk at the same time as it is reminiscent of American underground movies.
