> This may not be quite what you're looking for, but worth investigating:
There's a wonderful video (1/2 hour) called "The Way Things Go" in English that is, I think,
both very clever and funny.. An enormous Rube Goldberg structure set up in a warehouse in
which mechanical, chemical, fire, etc are used to trigger one event after another. Not
something you'd want kids to try out at home.... but I laughed and oooed and aaaahed
through the whole thing (okay-- I"m an exhibits person and like to build things too).
My DVD says it is from www.firstrunfeatures.com; I purchased it recently from a
distributor.
Creators: Peter Fischli and David Weiss, filmed in Germany.
"Glorious, inspired, and demented" as it says on the cover is an appropriate description.
