Release Year: 1955 Director: Joseph Cornell and Stan Brakhage Review: There is so little to say about this short. The film is silent, grainy and completely lifeless. Perhaps director Joseph Cornell was attempting to capture the essence of summer, but it never comes across. It appears to be a normal home video. One taken by someone who is still learning how to use it, and pointing it randomly at uninteresting things. The film was made to remember a house that was to be demolished. Cornell cherished things from the past and tried to preserve this house he treasured before it was gone forever. However, I got no sense of emotion from the film. It was completely void of life which seems to be in complete contrast of what he was going for.
Rating: 1/5
