Focusing on Eisinga's three latest films, this book reveals the deceptively simple world of his work. Eisinga deliberately uses cliches and obvious literary devices in order to challenge the viewer and put him on the wrong track. The apparent naivete and humor in his films beguile the viewer but also produce a feeling of painful self-awareness. With a melange of mysticism and realism that recalls such filmmakers as Chris Marker and Andrei Tarkovsky -- as well as novelists like Franz Kafka and Alain Robbe-Grillet -- Eisinga's minimalist fables bring us to disturbing conclusions but also point to the possibility of stepping outside of the prison-like confines of the everyday. This book also features an essay by Jan Debbaut that takes a profound look at the philosophical and aesthetic implications of Eisinga's work.
