10/12/2010 Boy, was I against this at first. An early section of the film includes a 15-minute rush of overexposed, superimposed images -- a confusing and tedious heap of just stuff. While I confess I still don't know what this segment was for, it eventually coalesced into something far more interesting. Primarily a series of images and juxtapositions that suggest a man vs. nature theme (although Chambers touches on other areas as well), it's often fascinating and at times extremely unsettling. The ending is even quite brilliant, and achieves something rare in experimental film: dramatic tension. A difficult work, but worthwhile.
