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