Side to side

Lines: Vertical (1960)

Directed by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambert this is a short film set to the music of Maurice Blackburn. Vertical lines move from side to side in time with the music.

Having already seen Lines: Horizontal (1962) first I guess you could say this film was some what spoiled for me by already having seen it's sequel. The difference between the two films is 90 degrees of rotation but again this is a fairly entertaining watch thanks to the skill of the animation. Maybe the music and animation do not fit perfectly, as with the sequel but they do go together decently.


3/5
