Review of Stereo (Tile 3B of a CAEE Educational Mosaic) (1969) by Richard M — 08 May 2012
This short film by David Cronenberg is more an experiment in filmmaking by a young director than an exploration of the films narrative about a young man arriving at an academy for people with telepathic ability.
The film is masterfully sculpted and the silence of the movie serves to draw our attention to the careful composition of each shot. The young Cronenberg makes use of some incredible tracking and panning shots which (similarly to Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange) lend themselves to the film's the eerie sic-fi narrative.
Stereo is testimony to the ambition of a young director who's ability reveals itself in the beauty and bleakness of every shot in this film.
