Four men have tea beside a large creature prop.
Four men sit around a lace-covered round table set with teacups, a white vase of daisies, and a bowl of dark cherries, while a massive pale flesh-colored creature looms behind them filling the upper half of the frame. The room is a modest domestic interior with floral curtains, a framed painting on the wall, and dim warm light. The creature has a fleshy, lumpen form with a small embedded face, rendered in what appears to be practical special effects or prosthetic work.

The dead-calm faces are what sell it for me — like the creature's been coming to tea for years and nobody thinks to mention it. That lace tablecloth doing all the heavy lifting to keep things civilized. Wonderful.

Here is the unbearable truth of civilization: the creature does not intrude upon the tea — the tea intrudes upon the creature. These men sip from their porcelain cups in defiance of the abyss, and the abyss sips back. This is the most honest photograph I have ever seen. — Werner Herzog
