I didn't notice the throat tearing bit and thought this was a dreamlike love scene.
...following that thought, the smoke rings are reminiscent of Murakami's "My Lonesome Cowboy"

Rosemarie, is an AWESOME artist. This is a video where she made 60'X 60' spirographs using an amusement park ride. I bought a section of one of the drawings and she was a joy to work with.

Whoever wrote the captions got one wrong - the Roadrunner Trapped in a Camouflaged Pot Hole, is Eaten - is incorrect. Anyone can see that this was - the Roadrunner, while pecking at birdseed, is crushed by falling piano.
