A surreal excursion into a young man's subconscious as he searches for the words to a tune that his mother may have sung to him as a child. The dreamlike images culminate in a scene of a girl's naked body covered with calligraphic characters.[1]
Grass Labyrinth was originally one of the installments in a French movie package called Private Collections, the other two sections being directed by Walerian Borowczyk and Just Jaeckin, both associated with avant-garde films with strong sexual content. Grass Labyrinth was the longest of the three and was later (1983) released as a separate film in Japan.[1]
