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!

Carol recently passed away in February of 2019. She was 97.
Great poetic filmmaker. One of the great sci fi illustrators also.
Wonderful, thanks for sharing

He did far better, and more enduring, work on book and magazine covers.
