GRAND OPERA

Directed by James Benning
Canada, United States, 1978

Synopsis

Using static shots of recurring motifs—city and landscapes (billboards, traffic signs, streets, industrial landscapes, gas containers, oil drilling rigs)—the film weaves them together with short scenes, textual inserts, experiments with film aesthetics and short homages to experimental directors.
