    A fierce dance of destruction. Its flame-like, roiling black-and-white inspires trembling and gratitude.

    A fantastic symphony of decay (Decay + Fantasia = Decasia), simultaneously heartbreakingly beautiful and exquisitely sad, pieced together from snippets of old films on the verge of oblivion.

    Lacking any obvious thematic or emotional arc, compilation pic succeeds as a pure exercise in visual stimulus, its narcotic effect much amplified by Michael Gordon's thunderous, dissonant orchestral score.

    I'm sure the filmmaker would disagree, but, honestly, I don't see the point. It's a visual Rorschach test and I must have failed.

    An interesting exercise that certainly has its moments of haunting beauty: unfortunately those moments are rare and of no great intensity. At 30', the collage would have been memorable. At 70', it's just boring and pretentious. 2/10… Expand
