2/60: 48 Heads from the Szondi-Test

About This Movie

So, Kren's second outing here is quite a trip. '48 Heads from the Szondi-Test' dives deep into the psychology with its strict serial editing technique. Each of the 48 portraits is presented in varying frame sizes and cut lengths, making for this kind of rhythm that feels almost hypnotic. The pacing is deliberate, creating this stark atmosphere that really makes you ponder the human psyche. It’s an experimental piece, not for everyone, but it has this unique way of peeling back layers of impulse and identity. You can get lost in the nuances of it all, and that’s what gives it a certain edge.

This film is a bit of a rarity in the collector’s world, mainly because of its experimental nature and the obscurity of its director. There are few formats available, and most collectors are on the lookout for the original print. Its unique approach to editing and thematic exploration makes it an intriguing piece for anyone serious about avant-garde cinema.
