Farm. 1979. James Irwin.

(4/23/00)

This film is simply static shots of a farm in Pennsylvania. They fade in and out of black leader, like slides. But they aren't slides and we become aware of subtle movements, like a cow shaking its head.

There is almost no human presence. (I think we see a rider on a bicycle in the last shot.) The sound is naturalistic in places, but later on we hear an organ playing.

This is a pleasant film if you are in the mood for it. Otherwise it can be boring after a while.
