An examination of the global circulation of patterns and textiles, observing recurring motifs and methods across different cultures and landscapes.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

Mack is known for working with textiles; and this film, shot on 16mm, is perhaps best described as Koyaanisqatsi with rugs.

Rated: 3/5

AV Club

There's always an element of awe when it comes to stop-motion animation, but usually one imagines a large team at work. This is just one remarkable woman.

Rated: A-

Chicago Reader

Jodie Mack, the most playful and imaginative avant-garde filmmaker of her generation, delivers her longest work to date, and the results are characteristically inspired.

I could think of much more worse ways than chilling outside for a half-day while busying yourself with the mechanical task of laying out an insane number of fabrics.

You could show The Grand Bizarre to anyone, from any country on Earth, and the film would click. There are no barriers, linguistic or otherwise.

The Grand Bizarre -- itself a kind of celluloid tapestry -- makes us notice the magic in the mundane.

Rated: 5/5

Epilepsi (sara) hastalarının izlemesini önermem. Deneysel sanatçı-animatör Jodie Mack'in filmi, dünya çapında garip, renkli, sürekli değişen uzun, dünya çapında bir yolculuk, ancak belirgin bir hedefi yok.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
