Aubade (2010 - Nathaniel Dorsky)

Following the rapturous reception of my Hours For Jerome review, (^^), you now get to hear about Nathaniel Dorsky's latest stuff. It's still silent, and it still has no traditional narrative or actors.

The first shot is perhaps the most exquisite, crinkles of light, coins flashing in the dark, shaped like crepitated corpuscles, white and yellow light shivering out. A pair of the entities flicker together, rare soul mates.

There's a liana strewn impossible forest that is probably a close up of a display in a botanic garden, but it looks amazing.

A clutch of pearlescent yellow and white eggs hang over a network of barred lozenges. A globular glass vase with a single red rose looks out onto a corner apartment, forking away down two perspective lines.

Beautiful red network, composed of what, who knows? A prettily-clothed women thumbs through a rack of clothes, spilling colour palette.

Typical foreground background Dorsky shot of flowers, this time the foreground admits more of the background, in a more upbeat film.
