Some Phases of an Empire. 1984. Nina Fonoroff.

(1/23/00)

Imagery photographed from the 1951 Quo Vadis. It was interesting in that if you have seen Quo Vadis it all looks vaguely familiar, but you didn't pay attention to a lot of the figures and movements as they passed by in the original fim, so this connects with something buried in the memory banks. There is a recitation on the soundtrack that, as far as I could see, did not relate to the visual imagery. It just seemed to be two sources of information competing for the viewer's attention.
