More good shit as usual. Fingers crossed we don't see Dog Star Man I pop up. Love Brakhage, hate that film.

How do you feel about the rest of Dog Star Man? The prelude is its own unique thing, but I feel the other parts are fairly similar.

Prelude is my favorite, it's great. 2 and 3 are pretty good, 4 is meh, 1 is bad.

That's my super-basic breakdown.

So Szel is #1 or what

It won't make my list unfortunately, but I have seen it and enjoyed it quite a bit.

I just rewatched it for the 2nd (maybe 3rd?) time and was so astonished by its sheer cinematic power that I almost teared up.

I'll have to rewatch it to see if it improves for me as well.

I think we’re all curious about your top 100 short films, actually. Wind is exactly the type of film I would expect on your list. Probably some Anger, A Dream of a Ridiculous Man and Tale of Tales would be quite high I’m sure, as well, and likely some I hadn’t heard of.

What I’m saying is……show us your top 100 short films…..please. And thank you

I rewatched Szel, and I liked it quite a bit more this time. I like how it starts out on the edge of the "action", cuts away from it for a few minutes to leave the viewer in the dark as to what's being depicted, only to literally come around full circle to explain the significance of what we were initially looking at. The simple decision to rotate the camera the opposite way, mixed with its slow cinema approach, is nothing short of brilliant and is such a genius method of storytelling. It would've definitely made this list had I rewatched it in time. Thanks for inspiring me to rewatch it!
