Conceivably the best of all of Breer’s films to date – has more to do with figuration, according to Breer’s formulation regarding titles with letters or numbers. This becomes clear right away as the title letters are intercut with a flurry of fish swimming past the frame lines, which are made all the more literal through the associative chain established by a snippet of Schubert’s Trout Quintet heard on the soundtrack, along with footsteps – which continue over a profusion of other shapes, colors, and objects, including the title letters again. -- Jonathan Rosenbaum

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a kinetic dialogue between pure form and associative sound, where Schubert's quintet and footsteps become compositional elements. It explores a visual music built from the interplay of letters, fleeting shapes, and piscine silhouettes.
What lingers after viewing is the sensation of having witnessed cinema in its essential state—a playful, rhythmic exploration of perception itself, unburdened by narrative. — MovieFinder Editorial
