Prelude: Dog Star Man
(1961)
Directed by Stan
Brakhage this is an experimental short film. We see a montage of
images, colours and sounds as birth or creation is explored.
I much preferred this
to the other Brakhage film I have seen, Mothlight (1963) and this
film calls to mind parts of Malick's The Tree of Life (2011). The
film does a good job of building to a clear theme or meaning which
sometimes escapes the more experimental work in my opinion. While
this style of film is not for everyone I found this to be one of the
more accessible genre entries.
4/5
