it resonates in the same way that her house building does
the paintings are more of a meditation
much more open - far reaching
though i question her legitimate filmmakerness
i do not question her artistness through it

i actually understand where fred is coming from
"travelogue"
but my point was that it would not have been THEEEE overriding aspect for a
viewer had it been a brakhage film
and the filming of a kid can be tricky
like that of a cat
that's why i cross referenced it

was it the most amazing film ever made NO, NO, NO

have you seen richard serra's films?
