Featured review
Aside from a few sad views of the Twin Towers, it's an art film that the average person might never even see.
This is the newest film from the 4-DVD set "Treasures From American Film Archives" and is an art film set in Battery Park--a park at the bottom of Manhattan--not far from the old Twin Towers that were destroyed on 9/11. In fact, through the course of the film you see the towers and it makes for a sad backdrop for the film. Much of it consists of very simple black & white animation as well as photographs--all accompanied by rather discordant flute music. While it's certainly not the sort of film the average person would enjoy, there is a rather interesting artistry to it. Plus, it's rather evocative seeing any place in New York completely devoid of people! How did they arrange that?! I cannot give a score to this film, as it's not a typical sort of film but an art film not intended for mass consumption. Interesting but not particularly enjoyable.
