I watched this short film in a seminar class this year. At first, I was slightly taken aback at how different this film was. It was not what I was expecting when my teacher said it was "the most important film" she had ever seen. Nevertheless, by the end of the film I realized that it was unique and vague intentionally as it explores the indescribable creative process through brief vignettes. I watched it through a second time about a week later, and new things kept popping out at me. It never blatantly answers the question of why man creates, but the film ends with a thought that makes the viewer actually think about the question. I definitely recommend this film if you want a fresh outlook on the creative process.
