Intervals

Directed by Peter Greenaway

19737 min5.6 / 10

An experimental documentary meditation on urban decay and temporal rhythm, using static observation and fragmented editing to transform mundane street life into abstract visual poetry.

A short film which has its emphasis on back street walls with peeling posters and the constant pedestrian traffic in the foreground. It has a static camera positioned in front of the walls; experimental editing techniques, no dialogue-just background music, and quick edits of blackness throughout.
