A dance film in which camerawork and editing appears to make the dancer move through a variety of settings without passing through the space in between. So skillfully done that Hollywood dancer/filmmaker Gene Kelly sought Maya Deren's advice on how it was made. ~ David Lewis, Rovi

    Deren rampages the motion picture.2 minutes is all she needs to preserve her semi-docu/positively genuine cinematic voice.A study lost in the organization pages of her philosophical brain.Otherwise,there's no explanation for this short trip amidst the dancing velocity.
