I saw this film at Lincoln Center with live orchestra lead by Philip Glass. This was one of a series of short films that Glass had commissioned to go with pieces of music he had written.
The film is typical Greenaway images of some one in a bathroom. Its beautiful to look at but it left one wondering what it was all about. In actuality I felt that way about most of the films that night. Even think of it as a "classical" music video leaves much to be desired since the images aren't all that compelling.
Glass and Greenaway had become friends when Greenaway did a film on Glass some years ago. The two would seem to be the perfect pairing but somehow it just doesn't work.
7 out of 10, but you'll forget it almost instantly
