Wonder ring what it means

The Wonder Ring (1959)

Directed by Stan Brakhage and Joseph Cornell this is an experiment short film. Through reflections we see a record of New York's Third Avenue.

This is a non-narrative mood piece attempting to capture a city street about to be torn down. I suppose the use of reflections does have something of the way memories work about the film but otherwise this is a fairly simple film. While I enjoyed it I would not say this was an especially striking or re-watchable film.


3/5
