At barely an hour in length there's a lot to take in . Andersen's reflections include biographical insights to the sometimes obsessive nature of this work and film theory exploring the relationship between Muybride's technological advancements and his work's capacity to enlighten on an almost philosophical level. One of the best essay on film. Masterpiece.
