Movie legend Roger Corman goes to Brazil with the last drops of his famous X-ray Eye-drops, to improve Ivan Cardoso's retina, making a definitive plunge into the cinematic unconscious of a disturbed mind. A barbarian cinema made with his own hands interfering directly with the film. For 10 years Ivan Cardoso has set aside traditional cinema to work directly on 35mm film in a handmade film, frame by frame. Scratching, drawing, puncturing, interfering, staining, and even erasing the image with acid. Developing various techniques and ways of doing everything that academic manuals say cannot be done. A film without a camera that will reveal to you the cinema of cinema. Roger Corman has to say : "I just seen the Drops of Corman: an experimental short subject by Ivan Cardoso. This is an excellent piece of work. The combination of the abstract imagery with the direct reality on the camera, in which sometimes one blends into the other and in other times one contradicts and fights the other. It's fascinating. The cutting, the imagery, the whole examination of various forms of art combined with a very good musical score, it is one of the best I've ever seen.
