This is the third art film by Surrealist artist Warlock Michael Teuber. Shot in black and white, in this film, Teuber examines the fear and morals of the "human animal" in five metaphorical stages.

Circle I is titled "The World That You Fear" and deals with what most people fear, typically evil in the guise of The Devil. There are alternating clips of the Surrealist’s sculptures and a naked woman holding a goat’s head over her own, possibly symbolizing Baphomet. As with his other films, the mood is dark and surreal, and the symbolism of the fear of evil, Satan, and even the carnality of Man, isn’t lost on the viewer.

Circle II is called "Metamorphosis." I’m assuming that it addresses the issue of how Man transforms himself by hiding behind facades represented by Teuber wearing a white mask over his face, then showing his true face, and finally donning an SS Officer’s Totenkopf hat. The scene ends with a clip of a descending staircase, and Warlock Teuber ascending it. Which, to me, was reminiscent of the symbolizing of Persephone descending into Hades during the winter, when everything dies, and emerging in the spring, when life is renewed, which can be seen as a metaphor for transformation.

Circle III is titled "The Little Worm" and again addresses the fear of Man, symbolized by a man cowering and covering his eyes from a group black-painted, female mannequin torsos circled around him- some outfitted with gas masks, nails driven into the body and head, or donning horns.

Circle IV is titled "The Reflective Society" is comprised of clips of what I call Teuber’s deathmask sculptures. They are dark, eerie, and surreal. In this stage we are shown flashes of the warlock invoking Satan between images of his dark sculptures.

Circle V is titled "The Circle Closes" and is about death. I found the images of the coroner’s table and the trapezoidal coffins in the ultra-sterile environment of the crematorium to be quite engaging.

This is an interesting film. Like the others, if you like Warlock Teuber’s work or art films, this is yet another one that you may want in your DVD collection.
