Scopolamine

1975 · 13 min

"Comfortably, as in its natural element, a camera swims coolly in the moltitude of the crown. It stares at an urban 70's America. An insistent melody in slow-motion gives a melancholic aspect to the show of these passers-by crossed and lost, the human crown of the time." -Cyril Hurel
