From An Evil Cradling
During his captivity in Beirut Brian Keenan had been moved to a solitary compression chamber, six feet long and four feet wide...
Deprived of even the most basic human needs, and facing an ever more hopeless situation, his mind began to unhinge. ‘Music’ is by turns harrowing and inspirational. The visions which at once delighted and plagued him are unforgettable. His flights of imagination, so vivid and real to him, he knew to be hallucinations. It wasn’t until the margins between fantasy and reality became too blurred for him to distinguish between, that his despair began to take real hold.
Powerfully narrated by Brian Keenan, this animated film packs a visual and verbal punch which ultimately celebrates the ecstatic victory of the human spirit over its confinement. A Kavaleer Production in association with Rocket Animation by Andrew Kavanagh and Keith Foran.
