Description
"These five films by Jordan Belson, representing his early, mature, and late-mature periods, are essential for three reasons: the early classics were groundbreaking masterpieces, Fountain of Dreams, previously unreleased, is a dazzling revelation from his middle period, and the shimmering Epilogue (2005) clearly shows that the master retains the spark of genius, breathing new life into the vocabulary he developed over more than half a century of visionary cinema."
— Gene Youngblood, media historian
