🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Henri Chomette constructs the film from pure kinetic energy, using editing to create a disarming, rhythmic pulse. He explores not objects, but the sensation of speed itself, relying on the contrast between dark tunnels and shimmering reflections.

Those who tire of narrative will find a mesmerizing early city symphony. What lingers after viewing is not an image, but the feeling of vertiginous motion through light and steel. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Henri Chomette
