Subliminal Exercise

kinema ikon, Alexandru Pecican / Romania / 1979 / 6 min.


synopsis

On its way out of the apartment, through the kitchen and bedroom, into the city, and out into nature, the stealthy running camera is drawn especially to the girls’ faces, to their bodies. The staccato, accelerating cut only settles down when meeting the old man and looking in the mirror.
