Movie poster: Eye Myth (1967)

After the title, a white screen gives way to a series of frames suggestive of abstract art, usually with one or two colors dominating and rapid change in the images. Two figures emerge from this jungle of color: the first, a shirtless man, appears twice, coming into focus, then disappearing behind the bursts and patterns of color, then reappearing; the second figure appears later, in the right foreground. This figure suggests someone older, someone of substance. The myth? Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Brakhage constructs a visual myth from the raw material of cinema itself, relying on the rapid juxtaposition of color and form to explore the birth of an image. It is an archaeology of sight, digging beneath narrative to the primal pulse of light on film.

What lingers after the final frame is the sensation of vision being stripped back to its essential, thrilling mechanics. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Stan Brakhage
