a solid recommendation from zac zellers, once again. a multi-layered, multi-dimensional mindfuck with effective experimental editing, a total psychological thriller for any film-making, film oriented, movie-goer.
Not too long ago I tried a similar experiment with a written composition more or less inspired by the works of Borges and Macedonio, and as I had guessed and made explicit in my piece, it was met with a factious response not unlike the one of Greaves's crew. I absolutely related to this movie, and I loved it.
Interesting quasi-documentary has some compelling things to say about the nature of reality and perspective as it relates to film. But even at its meager running time, it does go on to long, making its major points early on and the sort of just repeating itself. A number of engrossing moments and ideas, but not quite the experimental masterpiece some have made it out to be.
A film made of itself, this is a true exercise in beauty and a great insight into human social function and growth.
Bahahaha. I shot a short film for a directing class one time where the project entailed working with members from other classes such as acting and editing. Many of the frustrations I dealt with by having numerous people trying to stand out at once were very similar to the ones depicted through this film.
