Viewers of this film, similarly to Gidals Key, may experience boredom and/or frustration as their expectations of duration and what should happen in a certain amount of time are challenged. Again, similar to gidals Key, this highlighting their familiarity with the conventions of narrative cinema and its dominant mode of spectatorship.
The film focuses on a relatively unimportant scene that results in no important event, contains no spectacle and involves no character or plot development. It draws this moment that is of little-to-no importance over a period of time which, in narrative traditions, would contain a wide variety of spectacle and character and plot development. This highlights this convention of duration in narrative cinema in which during a certain period of time something will happen....
In this film, Arnold, makes us so aware of the form of cinema. It does so in a clip from a narrative film which would, in the traditions of narrative, aim to make the form invisible. By repeating, looping, reversing and flipping the image, Arnold is forcing the viewer to recognise the form of cinema and the way in which it can be manipulated and changed. The film also confronts conventional narrative cinema and spectatorship, and the expectations viewers have of duration and event.
JUST GO THROUGH THE FU**ing DOORWAY! completely pointless but interesting technique. just how it looks like hes struggling so hard just to get there. or is he just procrastinating from his task? aren't we all in a way like that man in the door way?
this man has influenced me so much i just seem to be a completely different person when im watching his work i wish i had the money to be a student of his
Martin Arnold is brilliant, I'm glad he's still working and teaching film. I wish I could be one of his students.
It's just sad to see how blind are people who doesnt understand his films. It just shows they have spirituality of apes, not humans. Perhaps they are so manipulated by tv/movies/all media they ever experienced, that they arent able to open for something like this, something they've never seen before.
why are you being elitist for having a different taste in media than someone else? just because they don't like what you like doesn't make them dumb or dull.
very true its it takes a exercised mind to understand someone like Arnold but it take a genius to make a statement like zombie just did. it's the people who criticize people who don't enjoy work like this that push people away from enjoying it. these people label the rest of us as Starbucks intellects
I agree with the other two replies. I've never studied film short of screenwriting, and honestly don't quite understand this. That said, I'm not blind, or stupid. I'm just not a film major. I apologize for the fact that I haven't had a learned expert guide my thinking with regards to this.
From a previously read comment regarding the horror that is expressed. I think I can see that through the anxiety this piece arouses. Can someone offer other insights? I know I'm not quite "there."
the work of Arnold its called Postproduction, is about do a piece but from another, changing the normal meaning of the material (the old terror) and do something else, in this case the visual game shows a complety different perspective from the movie and create expresive situation from just a few moviments.
i recently came upon Arnold's name when reading a Guy Maddin interview. He sourced martin arnold, Matthias Müller, Vigo and Bunuel as being some of his influences.
this is interesting. i've only been able to find arnold's stuff on youtube. interesting take on film.
Looks like a serious condition of Tourettes or maybe Obsessive–compulsive disorder.

@uaintheardnothinyet Do you think that Arnold has these things in mind when he's making the film? I think he's just "having fun with it."
