Plot
Comingled Containers is an experimental short film by Stan Brakhage. "This 'return to photography' (after several years of only painting film) was made on the eve of cancer surgery - a kind of 'last testament,' if you will… an envisionment of the fleeting complexity of worldly phenomenon."
Sinekatalog’s take
An experimental short shot in a rushed spirit on the eve of surgery, a fleeting study of worldly phenomena. Impressionistic, flickering and moving as a final statement. For viewers open to pure visual poetry.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
