The beginning is kind of meh but then it becomes really cool. The ideas aren't new to me but the visual presentation is very creative.

Makes a good companion piece to the book "Flatland". It explores most of the same concepts, and in an entertaining fashion.

One of the better shorts explicating this concept, which seem to be at least a handful to my knowledge. Mainly, it's just a great little film. I think in early French documentary, and in industrial filmmaking, there are a few films that anticipate what Bresson would do in Pickpocket, I think it was a latent French thing.

My reviews of these are making less sense and becoming less relevant as I go. This is my worst review so far.
