Difficult discerning difference between Pivi's surrealist juxtapositions and Darren Bader's, - horses and towers vs Borscht and omlettes - Pivi's more dramatic, climatically absurd, and the drama infers a "point" (i.e. comfort of "meaning"), a melodrama resolution that Bader's flat-footed bumbling never pretenses, or pretends, because we know its not true, both ultimately about taunting the eternal darkness oncoming.
