The imagery makes time and space behave in ways that seem natural in subconscious thought. Go to Full Review

03/02/2015 At Land plays like a dream, where distractions become new tangents and goals become lost in a myriad of images. See more 09/30/2014 Waves in reverse look cool. Props as an fairly early "avant-garde" or "experimental" film. Playing with the tools is a good thing. See more 06/04/2013 Deren seems to be intrigued by the metaphysical possibility of self-contemplation from a third-person perspective. There are certain burdens not to be carried; these reckless trains of thoughts shall never substitute the fundamental missing piece. But once that piece is recovered, then what? Uncertainty among vastness once again? 94/100 See more 08/30/2012 Maybe my favorite of hers. Great use of false continuity. It has an excellent flow to it, and the visuals are excellent. See more 04/06/2011 My favorite short film. Really shows how you can use editing to create an interesting world with no budget. See more 02/06/2011 Deren gives us a series of constantly fluctuating spaces in which the identity of the protagonist is the only constant, but even that is compromised when it's revealed that we may not have even been following one individual the whole time. Brilliant. See more Read all reviews
