Directed by Stan Brakhage · USA · New Hollywood

Cast

Stan Brakhage Jane Wodening

Plot

Images of two women, two men, and a gray cat form a montage of rapid bits of movement. A woman is in a bedroom, another wears an apron: they work with their hands, occasionally looking up.

Sinekatalog’s take

A fast, fragmentary study of domestic life, cut into rapid glimpses of movement. Sensory and rhythmic more than narrative. Intended for experimental-film devotees.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
