So, the leader comes through, the room's heated up, on comes Dog Star Man, Part IV. He starts exploding in Russian the minute the hand painted frames are flickering on the screen, along with the layers of superimposition. He's obviously raging! No one's heard him talk so much since he's been here. He's hammering away in incredibly rapid Russian.
He ran, in the course of an hour and a half, through every argument against my work and any other individual's work that I have ever heard, from the Emperor's New Clothes argument through this-is-too-rapid-it-hurts-the-eyes, through "this is sheer self-indulgence," to "film is only a collaborative art." And in detail, "the color is shit" and "what is this paint? Why do you do this?"

My fucking sides. I love tark even more as a person than as a director after reading Sculpting In Time

I bet he felt pretty good about it. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who strives for being understood.

nice try brakhage fanboy
>>63252884
Not surprising, plebs are always instantly repulsed by the sheer dankness of a kino.

But he proved he doesn't have master patrician status by his reaction to Brakhage's films.

The whole of it is amazing, but read the ending to see how Brakhage felt.
It's abstract filmmaking, the equivelant of the stereotype of "modern art"
Basically the films of Brakhage are a means to project your own feelings onto the film, and this creates a symbote art to viewer experience that is rarely replicated, each person projects their own emotions onto the film, and the film subtly leads you towards different emotional states. It's a very personal experiece typically only associated with hallucinogenic drugs.
