Intriguing limited animation, great music, and ballet dancers whose every move reveal the years of sweat and dedication they must have put into their craft. I don't think of myself as a balletomane by any means, but it's very easy for me to relish stuff like this

This experiment in combining dance and effects results in a short movie that is ghostly and genuinely cinematic.

While aesthetically engaging, ballet is repulsive for me no matter what form it takes.

Fuck, ballet again. And 13 minutes of it. The motion technique that McLaren utilizes here doesn't even seem that innovative for 1968. As bored as I was, though, I must admit there was a certain haunting beauty to it.

This is pretty surreal, but interesting and a good example of Norman McLaren's experimentation with animation and film. Probably good to watch when on acid.

It does have a beauty too it, especially in the second half but mostly I found it slow and dull.
