| The somnambulist shorts of the underground movement could be compared to "The Eternal Present," except that the shorts rarely ran more than 15 minutes and TEP goes feature length. The hero is a dork with a bad haircut who walks around with his mouth open. The jump cuts and eternity of black leader is sure to put you in a bad mood within minutes. In one scene, Our Hero is taking a bus ride, sitting and looking out of the window. This is covered in ten jump cuts and three fades to black! And nothing happens! There may be a plot here, but I am certainly not going to watch it again to find out. The film's credits include the film splicers our Artiste used! Do not buy this film, whatever your curiosity level. It has nothing to do with the plot synopsis offered on this web site. |
