The Weak Bullet

Tony Oursler

1983 | 00:12:49 | United States | English | Color | Mono | 4:3 | Video

Collection: Single Titles

Tags: Crime or Violence, Humor

A bullet fired by two children travels on and randomly, intervening in a series of scenes in Oursler’s quirky, dismal puppet land. The bullet kills a suicidal man, re-aligns an antenna, strikes a prize stud bull, and ultimately impregnates a woman by passing through her neighbor’s left testicle, then lodging in her ovary. In this metaphor for the spread of violence in society, the bullet represents destructive forces of accidental death and the sexual forces that create new life.
