This experimental film by director Michael Snow features sensory commentary on life, virtual worlds, the environment and filmmaking. Office workers (Kim Plate, Greg Hermanovic) appear indifferent, even as their clothes change while they wear them and the environment transforms as they interact with their surroundings. The digital world changes, too, as a family sits in the living room watching the sky on their television set, unaware of the shifting landscape around them.

Ray Conlogue Globe and Mail This 90-minute postmodern voyage was more diverting and thought-provoking than I'd expected it to be. Rated: 3/4 Dec 6, 2002 Full Review Elvis Mitchell New York Times The wanton slipperiness of *Corpus and its amiable jerking and reshaping of physical time and space would make it a great piece to watch with kids and use to introduce video as art. Rated: 3/5 Aug 28, 2002 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post Corpus Collosum -- while undeniably interesting -- wore out its welcome well before the end credits rolled about 45 minutes in. Rated: 2/4 Aug 28, 2002 Full Review Z. W. Lewis Hyperallergic Corpus Callosum shows us the absurd, horrific status of our work and home lives -- and assures us that it's OK to laugh. Feb 7, 2020 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International Snow has drafted a thought-provoking yet engaging video essay on the instability of images. Aug 8, 2004 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide It has the air of a surprisingly juvenile lark, a pop-influenced prank whose charms are immediately apparent and wear thin with repetition.
