Like the waves in At Land, Maya Deren's brand of filmmaking ran contrary to the established methods, yet transcend pretentiousness in their lurid watchability. Hers is wise wonder.

Pushed the boundaries of cross-cutting to an extreme. AND had chess on the beach before that became vogue.

Deren gives us a series of constantly fluctuating spaces in which the identity of the protagonist is the only constant, but even that is compromised when it's revealed that we may not have even been following one individual the whole time. Brilliant.

Boring. I had to force myself to watch this.

A pretty cool little film. The visuals are interesting and while it's no where near the pinnacle of experimental film, at 14 minutes it's worth a watch.

This was kind of cool, but on the tedious side. "Visual poetry" and all that jazz, sure, but not exactly riveting. As I see it there just isn't enough going on here compared to Un Chien Andalou and other seminal Surrealist films, which is why the result is pretty but rather dull.

I fell asleep watching this in class; now having seen it after a full night of sleep, I find there's some pretty interesting cinematography in here (The hand-held during the walking scene, is this one of the earliest examples of that?), but it's still boring and hard to make sense of.
