Description
"For Foreman, the goal is not to provoke pleasure but to demand the heightened—even obsessive—attention of his audience, something that is "easier to obtain in art than in life." Favoring abstraction over narrative, the film is striking for the emptiness of its signs. A woman's feet in high heels, bound together with rope, or the stern face of an old man, don't necessarily signify anything beyond what they are. The resulting effect lies somewhere between the refreshingly liberating, the slightly amusing, and the deeply exasperating."
— Emma Meyers, Film Comment
