03/13/2013 Kenneth Anger's short blue tinted film showing a French Aristocrat type wandering around a Garden of Fountains with lots of flowing and bubbling water...the images are quite hypnotic. It is an interesting experimental film with a lot of beautiful images in it's short running time. See more 07/13/2011 Wonderful artistic contribution. Whenever Anger is criticized for his lack of ability to satisfy narrow-minded critics and viewers, they can be shown this tasteful glass of champagne. Why? Because even if they do not like champagne, they perfectly know it's a classy and reknowned drink. Anger wins. 99/100 See more 06/13/2010 Gorgeous interplay of water and light, with a brief, surprising flash to offset the blue tint. But with the unknown woman running through a garden of fountains, it's more than a little pretentious. See more 01/12/2010 That's some beautiful shit right there. See more eric b 01/11/2010 A Marie Antoinette-type character walks around an incredible outdoor array of fountains located in Tivoli, Italy. The film image: tinted blue. The soundtrack: Vivaldi. Spurting water everywhere, and lots of grimacing gargoyles. At a mere 12 minutes, the film doesn't wear out its welcome. Lovely. See more 09/29/2009 Although the water photography is very nice, overall I found this one pretty dull and pointless. See more Read all reviews
