Candyland

About This Movie

Candyland is this fascinating piece that really plays with the idea of identity in a digital age. It's part of the 'Cannibal Garden' series, and it has this surreal quality, like you're stepping into a warped dream. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the unsettling atmosphere. The visuals draw heavily from sci-fi, anime, and horror, but there's an artifice to it that's almost theatrical. The way Handelman moves across the floor—it's both eerie and compelling, letting the viewer grapple with the layers of performance. Definitely not your typical narrative, but that’s what makes it stand out.

Candyland is somewhat of a rare find, as it seems to have had limited releases and is often overshadowed by more mainstream titles. It's definitely one of those films that challenges viewers, which can make it a gem for collectors looking for something off the beaten path. The scarcity of physical formats adds to its intrigue, and there’s a growing interest among those who appreciate experimental cinema and performance art.
