Overview

The surrealist film shows repetitive imagery involving a string fashioned in a bizarre, almost spiderweb-like pattern over the hands of several individuals, most notably an unnamed young woman and an elderly gentleman. The film also shows a shadowy darkness and people filmed at odd angles, an exposed human heart, and other occult symbols and ritualistic imagery which evokes an unsettling and dream-like aura. Considered an unfinished film.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A fragmentary, hypnotic descent into ritualistic imagery and dream logic that unsettles through repetition and occult symbolism. Watching it is less narrative experience than visceral immersion in someone else's nightmare.
