Sour Death Balls

Written by DeK October 11, 2006

This little movie is a series of headshots of people (mostly children) trying to keep a very nasty candy in their mouths for as long as possible.

A short movie from 1993, directed by Jessica Yu. She has also directed episodes of The West Wing, Lyon’s Den, ER, and Mr. Sterling, as well as The Guardian.

You can’t help but laugh while watching!

I was also wondering if that thingee was some kind of joke, or a real candy? But that kid was obviously not acting...

Notice how the music perfectly fit the images. It seems like the first scene is completely designed upon the music.
