Beyond Fuller

“The film both evokes and probes the ‘trance’ state in its relentless images of the eye, looking and spectator immobility – yet, unlike many later didactic works in the formalist-conceptualist mode, it is a film ‘essay’ which does not need to declare itself as one on the soundtrack or otherwise, leaving many of its argumentative links buried in the deep structure of the work, letting them rise up suggestively and poetically.”  – Adrian Martin
