RTS: Michael Snow's Wavelength

Luckily, this is only nine minutes' worth of the forty-five minute long movie which, literally, is one extremely long zoom-in, with the audio going from the lowest tone to the highest and loudest. So yeah...if you're going to actually play the video, you may want to turn down the volume and put any cats or dogs out of the room.

I sat through the entire forty-five minutes in my Experimantal and Avant-Garde Film class at Emerson, and I have to say it's an interesting experience. I know many people view E/AG film as self-important navelgazing, but I find it extremely fun to watch and learn about. This one did try my patience, though...and unfortunately I'd been scheduled to do an oral report on the Fluxus movement just afterwards...let's just say I didn't do too well because this film successfully screwed with my head, made me forget what I was going to say, and made it hard to concentrate for the remainder of the evening.

Quite possibly one of the toughest yet most interesting movies I've ever watched.
