Cup/Saucer/Two Dancers/Radio

About This Movie

Kenneth King's "Cup/Saucer/Two Dancers/Radio" is quite the intriguing piece from 1965, re-emerging in 1983. It blends elements of Pop Art with a quirky, almost disjointed vibe. Phoebe Neville's performance stands out—there’s something both absurd and captivating about her marching in that getup. The atmosphere is playful yet contemplative, with this rhythmic pacing that draws you in. The use of everyday objects like cups and saucers juxtaposed with dance creates a unique dialogue about art and consumerism. It's a small and unusual work, but it leaves you pondering the intersection of art forms. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill experimental film.

This film has seen limited releases, making it somewhat elusive in the collector's market. The original version from 1965 is particularly sought after, often overshadowed by the later re-release. Interest in King’s work has surged, especially among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema. Finding a decent copy can be a real challenge, so it tends to attract a dedicated niche of collectors.
