a haunting experimental experience

This classic Canadian avant garde short is among the most fascinating of its kind. There is nothing resembling any sort of plot here, instead the work is presented as an artistic collage of loosely connected audio and visuals.

The editing and meshing of certain noises and images forms an unsettling and unspeakably beautiful atmosphere. This is the type of film that throws all logic out of the window, and simply fuels emotional responses with whatever material it possibly can. Here, this attempt at emotional response works wonderfully well, and this film will likely consume any open minded viewer with its enigmatic magic.
