The Nimbus Trilogy

3 titles · in release order

Three romantic entanglements play out in the three 'Nimbus' videos, which extend Klahr's interest in constructing almost legible narratives — but doing so in formalist terms that complicate and enhance the traditional pleasures of stories. The trilogy's closer, 'Cumulonimbus,' is a movingly mature account of grief with a puckish sting in its tail. – Chris Stults, Film Comment

Nimbus Smile

Movie

The series begins with Nimbus Smile, which depicts a love triangle in 1960s New York set to the Velvet Underground's 'Pale Blue Eyes.'

Nimbus Smile is followed by Nimbus Seeds, which sets a collage soundtrack of city noises, wind chimes, rain, footsteps, and bits of classical music to the exact same visuals.

The trilogy’s closer, ‘Cumulonimbus,’ is a movingly mature account of grief with a puckish sting in its tail.
