I’m probably not the best type of person best suited to reviewing this i guess. I generally don’t like feature length experimental films and i was bored as all hell. Didn’t really get what anything was supposed to mean. Visuals are kind of good, but when the director is really concentrating on that and mostly nothing else, you’d expect them to be. Not my type of thing. 4/10

An absolute feast for the eyes. Makes me think of the video series "Every Frame a Painting" because literally every shot in this movie could hang on a museum wall. Astonishing compositions, dizzying visual detail, beautiful use of movement, etc. So glad I saw this as a 4k restoration (on youtube, of all places.) Now, does it mean anything to me? Not really--this is just more of a mood piece with striking visuals, but I liked it better than most avant-garde movies I've seen before.
