A childhood memory re-enacted through a mixture of publicly sourced photos, staged scenes, and stop motion animation, “The Man Cave” is brief, bewildering journey inside two young girls’ shared vision of manhood. It’s an irreverent child’s eye view of male sexuality, seen through a proto-feminist lens: the male “safe space” of the “man cave” invaded by girls, culminating in absurd, exuberant fantasy.
The music in the film, a cover of “You’ve Got Something There” from the 1930s musical “Varsity Show,” is used with the permission of Warner Chappell.
