Review of Anti-Clock (1979) by Mark B — 24 Dec 2009
Another pretentious, imprenetrable, and actually pretty worthwhile lost gem of British avant-garde cinema recently dug up by BFI.
A meditation on time and encroaching apocalypse through use of dodgy old video technology and even older TV clips, narrated over with a mesmeric relentlessness.
I liked it. I liked it more than pretty much anything Derek Jarman ever produced. This is my first experience of Jane Arden's work, and I think I shall be exploring still further soon. See, I'm a sucker for genuinely nihistic films.
This is that all right.
