Rist. I'm Not the Girl Who Misses Much

I'm not quite sure if this short film by Pipilotti Rist, Als der Bruder meiner Mutter geboren wurde, duftete es nach wilden Birnenbluten vor dem braungebrannten Sims, is supposed to be funny, however within the first 2 minutes I found it to be quite comical. The woman, whose identity is not portrayed as she is blurry throughout the film, sings the repeated lyrics of "I'm not the girl who misses much" dances around with her breasts hanging out, in a fast motion as the tape is fast-forwarded. Her voice, along with the speed of the film, becomes high pitched and childish. After about 2 minutes, Rist slows down the video to normal speed, and we see that the woman is actually quite melancholy and singing depressingly, and my mood towards it changed, as I understand now that she is very emotional and not trying to act silly. The film is sped up once again, until finally it stops and the real song that she is singing is played. The color of everything switches to blue, adding to the depressing feel. The short video is rather beautiful in technique and portrayal of emotion.
