First film I've seen on MUBI that I disliked. The first part of the collage is interesting enough, appearing to be a post-industrial meditation set to a hypnotic soundtrack. Unfortunately it culminates in a poorly executed monologue which didn't really seem to serve any purpose. Although I'm a lifelong appreciator of the avant-garde this brief film seemed to me to have no real reason to be.
