By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volumes One and Two (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Review

an initiate to brakhage by every means, only because of criterion have i heard of this and waited for the two volume set to actually start watching. some of the shorts have proven to be a bit elusive in meaning so i've been watching the interviews to get a sense of what brakhage was trying to get at. the supplements are just as mind blowing as the films they are about.

i've been one to put on music while watching movies, with the volume down(pink floyd and wizard of oz is purely coincidental). this collection of mostly silent films has practically provoked me to do so. i've been playing autechre's oversteps,delirium cordia from fantomas, secret chiefs 3's satellite supersonicI, and mike ladd's bedford park while watching. further combinations are imminent... or impending.

i had no idea people would like stuff like this, much less make an abundance of material like this. i know how i ended up "like this" but how deep it relates to these meanings is slightly beyond reach-partially unattainable. i understand this review may not be very helpful, so teh more teh no votes teh better teh troll me with. atleast i waited till i had it in my hands and had seen the actual product you pre-release review-crybabies. TROLL RIGHT!!!
