A riddle dipped in a mystery, covered in confusion


The Riddle of Lumen (1972)

Directed by Stan Brakhage this is an experimental short film. We see a serious of different images edited together over 14 minutes.

Some might say this is a riddle, others might call it an impenetrable mess. There are some Brakhage films I really enjoy but sadly this was not one of them. Too far out there for my taste this was certainly not one for me.

2/5
