Full Plot Details

A voice is heard reading a series of couplets from the Bay State Primer, before there begins a series of shots. A visual alphabet, composed of street and shop signs is gone over again and again in a loop, using new signs and words each time. As the film progresses, each letter of the alphabet is slowly and progressively replaced using a new image for each letter, including a man painting a wall, a woman speaking, a clementine being peeled, etc. As each letter continues to be gradually replaced, the images for the letters already replaced progress in action: the man finishes the wall, the peeling of the clementine is completed. At the end, a shot of a couple with their dog is shown to be walking into the woods in a single long shot, whilst six women take turns speaking Grosseteste's "On Light, or the Ingression of Forms" to a rhythm, each speaking a different word every second.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Private UTo paraphrase a friend I saw the movie with, I felt like I was undergoing reprogramming for a religious cult.
User Review - 10/10 by Yangqiao LOne of the most FANTABULOUS structuralism films ever! (I'm not sure Frampton would love the word FANTABULOUS)
User Review - 8/10 by Nik MA true avant-garde film that is hard to watch for the untrained eye. The film is expressively edited, featuring numerous implications and nods to factors of filmmaking - time, technicalities, philosophies - to create a profound experience divided in three sections. The contrast of visuals paired with the narration in both the first and last sequences creates an out-of-body consideration, mixed in with the realist symbolism of the long second sequence.
User Review - 8/10 by David SAn intellectually challenging, exhausting, exasperating experimental film investigating how we create meaning: in film, in images, in language, in patterns, all toward an aim of showing that these mental hardships can lead to a kind of peace.
User Review - 8/10 by James WThis is borderline mind control. It accomplishes exactly what it wants to, but...well, I'm not sure I'd recommend this. It's a long, challenging hour.
User Review - 6/10 by Wayne COne second shots of street signs starting with "A," "B" and so on, cycling through the alphabet, with a set of (unrelated?) images gradually replacing the individual letters. With an equally experimental prologue and epilogue, it lasts for an hour. It's hypnotic at times and not as unwatchable as it sounds, which may be why it has become semi-legendary avant garde effort; it's one of those films for cineastes to see once just to scratch it off the list.
