This time Ortiz uses his scratch- technique on a scene of a Marx- Brothers film. The original, like we know it, is a love of anarchy.
And what Ortiz' collage creates from the briiliant slapstick-scenes is sheer madness. The walls literally vibrate. The zanniest chasms open up, along with the seemingly unending volley of kicks in the oponent's buttocks... a bizzareiy comic escapade of anarchisfic choreography based on Marx-ian chaos.
