not "just" anything. This Great 16mm Abstract Movie by the Brilliant Ed Emshwiller is a masterul piece of Pure Cinema. It's wonderfully conceived, beautifully shot, tightly & lovingly edited & put together with a poignant gentle musical score. The optic/in-camera mechanical celluloid visual effects are Magical & Emotionally Cinematic. This is a Gorgeous Visual Tone Poem, a Romantic Poetic Love Letter to the Movie Maker's wife, Carol Emshwiller. The Visual Textures of the tree barks & the leaves on the branches being gently blown in the wind being double-exposed with the Visual Texture of Carol's facial skin is sensually pleasurable & expressive. The movie's pacing from a gentle slow rhythm to a Kinetic & Kinesthetic Visual Cascade of Flashing & Flickering Colors & Explosive Motion & Bright Lights Contrasting with Dark Shadows & Shapes in Super Fast Alternating Spirals & Bursts is Exhilirating Visceral Emotionally Intense Cinema. A Purely Cinematic Treat from One of the Great Movie Makers of All Time. Thank you Ed Emshwiller!

Great poetic filmmaker. One of the great sci fi illustrators also.
