Plot: A young man realizes he must travel through the dark and cryptic forest of film history, only to discover a dramatic message concerning his difficulties with love. Set against the classic poetic tale of 'The Story of Echo and Narcissus', this story plays with multiple aesthetics of film and video in the hopes of exploring the striking similarities between the nature of myth, dream, and motion picture.

Plot: WE SEE a kaleidoscope of real and subliminal images. Swans in a pond. A float in a communion parade. A young man punching his reflection in a mirror. A man falls from a window. Swans again. Snow falls on evergreens. An aerial shot of New Jersey's industrial parks like a family of Giacommetti sculptures standing in the snow belching smoke. Peace. Violence. Juxtaposing beautiful images with an undercurrent of rage and uncontrolled excitement, LE MIS POPOTE explores situations, events and feelings that suggest the conflicts inherent in mankind's chaotic life and the world. Mental images, childhood memories and emotions are revealed as dreams or nightmares. the soundtrack and Bramsen's original poetry synthetically generated as voice-over, work to construct a sense of honesty in the subconscious. creating an unorthodox visual atmosphere, the filmmaker uses inventive editing, giving the film edge and nerve. LE MIS POPOTE is frantic, plot-less and extraordinary. The images show new and old moving and still pictures (a retrospective) of Bramsen's work.

Plot: Young Princess Sophia of Germany is taken to Russia to marry the half-wit Grand Duke Peter, son of the Empress. The domineering Empress hopes to improve the royal blood line.

After the old empress dies, Sophia engineers a coup d'etat with the aid of the military, does away with Peter, and becomes Catherine the Great.

Lying here beside myself with joy
I am too much for my mirror
Mama said she wished me dead
Called me bad, too bad...
I fell in love as a boy
Opened my eyes and saw my shadow
With eyebrows raised, they searched my face
And found my mate, too late...
Chorus
Don't need no audience round me I'm fond of my own company
Who wants the birds and the bees when I've always got me up my sleeve.
Who said that no mans an island surrounded by nothing but sea I
I tell you he's wrong and misguided I stand here surrounded by me.
(Breaking up the mirror, you're a sinner, you're a sinner
...Breaking up the mirror; you're a sinner you're a
Sinner. . .)
"Come down to earth" They called up to me
"We have a bed to ease your journey, crazy fools are born to bruise,
But we've the cure for both of you.
Don't need no audience round me I'm fond of my own company
Who wants the birds and the bees when I've always got
