Bird, Bath and Beyond

A major figure in underground cinema, the artist Mike Kuchar - who in this film turns into a fish, then into a star, and finally into a bird, as a tribute to the unbridled imagination of early cinema - talks about his relationship with film, remembers his birth, recalls his fascination for stars, shopping malls and birds, whose liberty is to be found in the American director*s will to explore new horizons of cinematographic art. His speech unfolds according to free association of ideas, mirrored in the dream-like images of the film whose aesthetics pays tribute to Kuchar's B movies. Marie Losier delivers an intimate and cheerful portrait of her friend and offers a humourful atlas of the director's world.
