Ottinger’s debut film already contains many of the elements that would appear in her later works: an extraordinary woman, an unusual country, and a chain of magic transformations that give rise to eccentric characterizations by an ensemble cast, here featuring Tabea Blumenschein in multiple roles. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Ottinger’s allegorical work explores themes of death, destruction, and resurrection. With striking camerawork reminiscent of the antics of avant-garde psychodramas, Laocoon &amp; Sons is filled with an exuberant sense of life, myth, tradition, and magic.

Laocoon & Sons: The Story of the Transformation of Esmeralda del Rio

Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s ORLANDO and featuring Tabea Blumenschein in multiple roles, Ottinger’s visually striking debut film is an allegory on themes of death, destruction, and resurrection. With short SUPERBIA—THE PRIDE.

In this segment of the omnibus film Seven Women, Seven Sins, Ottinger creates a richly colorful, allegorical montage of new and found footage informed by cultural tradition and history.
