Capriccio No. 24

Zbigniew Rybczynski's experimental video "Capriccio No. 24" is a curious, entertaining and artistic view of a couple performing the title music of Paganini through the use of noise and vocal sounds, as they are edited down through repetitive images, while dressed as concertists in a series of visual montages revolving New York City.

It's the typical fashion Rybczynski usually composes his images and his art, through repetition, a series of things happening all at once, and it makes us curious in seeing how he can compose a shot where a man and a woman are duplicated several times and each image perform one particular act. It's amusing like many of his works from the 1980's which includes the Oscar winning "Tango" (1981) and the incredibly underrated "Imagine" (1987). Here, the novelty doesn't look like a novelty and the video quality feels like an underproduced short. Yet easy to like, admire and have some fun with the weirdness of everything. 9/10.
