What do you mean for art film? It's just a film... I think it's wrong to consider a film an "art film" just because it doesn't use an usual style.

The corridor strolls prove really powerful, but within the closed systems, inactive images entropically form intolerable inertia. I’ve esteemed Brakhage’s altruisms of leaving silent films to invoke imagery into poetry, but this here needs a soundtrack in place of the missing dolly.

At first the gaze strikes out in search of codes, then seeks to puncture the image: lacking posture, it cannot settle; lacking grammar, cannot speak. Immutable even as it tracks down corridors, hemming the vanishing point; windows, flat shapes, open on and into a city. All is form and temperature, not in motion but passing. Repetition expresses consciousness: the gaze returns us to ourselves, but with the world.

View this film with some music playing in the background and the resulting effect makes the silent static images more interesting. Case in point, I put on the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and it added a considerable layer of dread and creepiness to the film. For instance, the Penderecki pieces randomly matching up with the slow tracking shots in the narrow hallways made for an intriguing combination.

The worst art film I have ever seen. It's actually a disgrace to art to even consider it art.

Agreed, since watching JEANNE DIELMAN I've changed my mind on Akerman. You can compare this film to a Lumiere short, only extended over a length that makes it challenging to complete, yet alone enjoy.

Ugh, they don't have it at the library yet. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and buy the set. I can always sell it if I don't like it I suppose.
