🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart construct a cinematic experience from primary elements: line, color, sound. The film relies on the technique of drawing directly on film, exploring how abstract graphics can acquire rhythm and emotion through synchronization with a musical score.
Those who tire of narrative will find a hypnotic study in motion and perception. What lingers after viewing is a sense of serene focus and admiration for the elegance of minimalism. — MovieFinder Editorial
