		The girl was taunted with objects from the everyday life which has been denied her: stuffed animals, a Christmas tree, a balloon.
		The woman in red hanged herself as the match girl froze to death; a grandmotherly figure representing death descended a staircase and gently arranged the two corpses, combed the girls' hair, peeled an apple for them and moved on.
		As each precious match was ignited, the orchestra glowed with huge chord clusters punctuated with cymbals and bells — and then died away into what I can only describe as the sound of ice.

	village voice > film > Match Girl by J. Hoberman
		The most heartrending as well as the pithiest of Scandinavian bummers, Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" is the tale of a child who freezes to death on New Year's Eve, her hallucinated final hours illuminated by the matches she's been put on the street to sell.
		The protagonist is a poor little rich girl (and potential pyromaniac) who, although evocative of reigning superstar Edie Sedgwick, is played by another underground ingenue, Vivian Kurz.
		Meyer appropriates Kurz's actual Factory screen tests—not to mention Andy himself, who is drafted to mumble passages of Andersen's story on the soundtrack and whose portrait of Marilyn assumes the function of the girl's dead grandmother.

		The girl was in a drunk-driving accident, and had to have one of her legs amputated at the knee.
		The little girl's name is Minikin (Minx for short) and the wicked witch with whom she lives (and whom she believes to be her mother) is Madame Snickasnee.

		So starts the Hans Christian Andersen story of "The Little Match Girl", as adapted by Loren MazzaCane Connors for the liner notes of his album of the same name.
		Titles like "She Was Hungry and Very Very Cold" and "Falling Star (Comets Light the Way)" communicate the basic narrative of the fable, while Connors' guitar shoots to the gut feelings beneath the plot, churning out sadness and hunger and gently channeling light and hope.
		In "The Little Match Girl", Connors achieves a certain kind of bluesy bliss through a sound which is at times rather simple and sparse.
