Summary: A ritual is an action distinguished from all others in that it seeks realization of its purpose through the exercise of form. In this sense ritual is art; and even historically, all art derives from ritual. In ritual the form is the meaning. More speci fically, the quality of movement itself is not a merely decorative factor; it is the meaning itself of the movement. In this sense, this film is a dance. (Picpal.com)

I can appreciate her desire to try and express thought through nonsensical imagery but it just doesn't quite work for me. I never found it to be enjoyable nor did I find it to be profound or meaningful.

What I'm finding fascinating in Deren is her almost preternatural occupation with the human form, and how that inherently comes with anxiety about one's personal identity.

Deren fluctuates between the meaninglessly abstract ("Meditation on Violence") and the overly symbolic ("Meshes of the Afternoon") but here she achieves something more balanced, something gently suggestive, like a dream. I often find her works too formal, but the formalist-extremist summary given here does not necessarily do justice to this oneiric, associative one in particular.
