D'est:
So this was an intriquing piece, but yet it tested my patience at the same time. There were scenes that were really captivating and scense that were drawn on way too long.

I loved the part when the old man was sitting at his dinner table eating. The sounds of his silverware on the plate and the constantness of it was really interesting.

During this film I felt like I was waiting for something. Waiting for something to happen, but instead it just kept switching scenes right when I felt like something might happen... just starting the cycle all over again. When it got towards the middle of the film, I had a really hard time keeping focus on what was going on. Why were some of these parts drawn on for so long, was the creator trying to get the audience to feel like there was going to be a climax, but then never was? Why was it made like that?

In discussion we talked about how we would show this piece in a gallery format. My idea was to have a smaller room (fitting about 10 people comfortably) and have different sections of the piece on each different wall (it would be projected so the people in the film were life size). This would give each person a chance to look at one scene for as long as they want, and also have the freedom to look at a different scene. They could sort of pace themselves instead of having frustration on one scene that is drawn out (at least that's the feeling I got when I saw one scene for too long)
