Lost in the notes

An Optical Poem (1937)

Directed by Oskar Fischinger this is an animated short film. Various shapes move around in time with Franz Liszt's second Hungarian Rhapsody.

Starting off well I though that the animation lost steam as the music becomes more complicated. The early parts really fit the music well but by the end it did not feel like the animation was truly a representation of what we are hearing. Compared to the other Fischinger film I have seen I would not say this is one of my favourites.
