I caught this film running on a loop at a friends place which I later on was able to watch alone. A warning; If you happen, as a movie go-er, to have expectations, don't bother. It is a series of slow moving clips without direction and certainly doesn't deserve the high rating it has.
What I liked was the cinematography and sound. Chris Barley certainly has a great talent for it and I would be curious to see him collaborating with directors who can utilize this.
Yes, It depends how you want to express your art. If this rocks the filmmaker's boat and there are people who enjoy it, perfect. There are very few people left who are able to let their work be art.
However, cinema it is not. Cinema or movies do take people by the hand. It always offers them a narrative whoever strange and confusing it may be. Even David Lynch and Lars von Trier are aware of this.
The 'art' of cinema is to combine different forms (story, sound, music, image, acting, et cetera) under one creative vision.
Like I said, if the film is an expression of the filmmaker, fine. However, if the filmmaker is proposing to say; well, here is a series of slowly but beautiful moving clips, so what does it mean to you? It is a bit lazy and even a bit insulting for 1 and 1/2 hours.
This film would be wonderful as video art in a gallery. That would be definitely its niche. However, since it is on IMBD as a movie, I think the viewer deserve a small narrative which I placed as the title.
