About

A girl, a hat, a painter, and ensuing developments are presented in a choppy, fast-motion style which lends a clownish air to the film. Each object or situation is followed by explorations into its aesthetic ramifications, revealed with brilliant color, very fast cutting, and multiple superimpositions. –S. L. "One of the finest visually-oriented slapstick comedies I've ever seen... His films is a little like, if you can imagine such a thing, a cross between Broughton, Breer, Vanderbeekm and Emshwiller." –Stan Brakhage
