Bull on the Roof

2010, 80 min. English, German, Swedish, Finnish

Another stylistically audacious work from Jyoti Mistry, sailing across disparate narratives and international locations – Johannesburg, Helsinki, Vienna and New York. The result is a kaleidoscopic snapshot of urban spaces and sexual variations – walking through cities, taking ferries, riding trains, going on a picnic and fornicating within and without, but always informed by place – site specific, one might say. The geographic disorientation is heightened by voice-overs in multiple languages but held together by the similarity of the small details of peoples‘ lives, whatever country they may be in.
