The hearing trumpet (1976)

A hearing trumpet alerts Marian Leatherby to her family's plans to send her to an institution, where an already peculiar world becomes extravagantly occult. Carrington gives objects, buildings and rituals a painter's freedom to become something else. The escalating surrealism also makes room for elderly women's appetite, rebellion and friendship. Choose this for comic disobedience and a world coming unstuck, accepting that its transformations follow dreamlike association.
