A flicker in the light

Mothlight (1963)

Directed by Stan Brakhage this is a short experimental film made in a collage style. We see various translucent objects flash before our eyes.

Like most experimental films there is no plot here and meaning projected onto the images is largely at the viewers discretion. The idea for the film has potential but it does not really translate to the screen in my opinion as the image quality does not really capture the beauty of the subject matter. No doubt this will appeal to some but I think it will be the minority as is often the case with this genre.


2/5
