You feel immediately drawn towards them: how they sit, how they stand, how they make their somewhat awkward way through the world with their oversized heads. Yoshi and Moshi and all the other Big Heads are what make Nina Staehli’s films so distinctive and so highly idiosyncratic. They catch the audience by surprise with unusual acts that develop a logic all of their own within the universe of these films. The acts exert a pull that the spectator can no more escape than a child can brush aside its curiosity. (Stefan Kaiser)
