Plot
A three-part structural film, in which an alphabet is replaced, letter by letter, by images of the city in a one-second sequence, between a reading of a medieval text and a long silent shot of a snowy field.
Sinekatalog’s take
A landmark, demanding and rigorous structural film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
