Stan Brakhage
Plot
Four films in contemplation upon those events which are so centered upon one moment that chronology seems almost obliterated or at least unimportant in remembrance.
Sinekatalog’s take
A set of four contemplative pieces about moments that stand outside ordinary chronology. Brakhage's abstract style rewards the patient, and it is not a place to start for newcomers to his work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
