Description
"The concrete world of American infrastructure and its disappearance are rendered strangely poetic in this expressionist documentary showing San Francisco's Embarcadero Freeway before its destruction. In an atmosphere of daylight mystery, Angerame plants clues and reveals the past encircled by the future. Lyrical, unsettling, comic, Premonition acts on the attentive viewer like a memory of something about to happen, a silent and revealing waking dream."
— Barbara Jaspersen Voorhees
"... the images in Continuum certainly haunt me. I was amazed at how much the film does not evoke the era in which it was made, or even the place where it was shot. I tended to forget that it was about city chores, rooftop work, etc.: just work, the continuity of work, timeless and continuous, yet inexorable. Bravo."
