I'm not even sure this is a movie.

A silly "art" "film" with a sillier soundtrack. Less avant garde, more stylised narrative, there's some neat camera tricks here and there that play with the dimensions of space, but not much more substance than that.

I enjoyed the soundtrack, the noise of it all didn't really bother me any. There are some good images here and there and the end was a little creepy.

One of those "me and my buddies fucking around with a camera" films from Brakhage's early career. It does feel more cohesive and less arbitrary than most of the others, but it's still rather thin material. The mutated soundtrack and quick editing help.

I like the idea of depicting being isolated amongst others, which this film illustrates, but visually it just doesn't click with me. I got a fly on the wall type feel at first, then it becomes extra-subjective, which is interesting. I respect it, but I don't really like it.

I rather liked it. I love the descent from boredom in to revelry, I quite liked the creepy mood (it could do with being a bit more creepy perhaps) and there are some really good images. The sounds unfortunately hurt it quite a bit for me - I understand the whole "fly on the wall" intent early on but it just sounded annoying whereas the later stuff I had to turn the volume down for. Still it was interesting stuff.

Kind of cool I guess, though the soundtrack got annoying.

A film that's meandering, but in a good way. It doesn't come across as a pile of old wank like so many experimental films, past and present, do. Brakhage, like Kenneth Anger and a handful of other people who work with film this way, has enough savoir faire such that you may not understand what he is saying -- if anything -- but you like how he says it. It probably helps that he does this in films that are short enough to not wear out their welcome :-)
