"Films like this ask us to practice our gaze, literally, to get used to looking at the world, aware of every second going by. This is a lot to ask of human beings and so avant-garde cinema scares people. Meaning hides from plain sight, time ticks away, and we're watching something that doesn't resemble other films but instead resembles us. Breathing, blinking, organically functioning, going nowhere in a hurry, and getting there with only the accumulation of time arming us against the inevitable disappointment of returning to reality."
