"A short film shot in the winter of 1974." - WWD "An unusually balanced film, a very simple film (but then, one which knows itself) . . . light is the subject matter, beginning in sun and ending at fireplace, but this continuity is not permitted to disturb the singular emotion of the film. I am especially intrigued by the stops and-starts within zoom and pan movements-these metamorphizing eye-movement more exactly than the usual smoothness, thus keeping the work most carefully personal." - Stan Brakhage
