✎ Suggest a correctionCornell's editing tactic is to seduce through the use of dislodged movie tropes. Hence, the viewer is cut loose from any normal meanings to pursue the snippets of clips and fragments taken from long-forgotten obscure movies. One is encouraged to let the Cornellian montages wash over them in an endless reverie of ecstatic moments. 16mm 1.37:1 black & white with color tint silent 18fps; completed by Lawrence Jordan; new music vintage circus organ.
