Review of Hapax Legomena I: (nostalgia) (1971) by Tor M — 27 Dec 2012
In this film we see a series of photographs, mostly Frampton's own shots, slowly burning one at a time on a hotplate. At the same time Frampton tells the story of the next picture that we will see, while the picture from the last told story are burning.
Sounds tricky? Well, it is not. It's a very simple film, only still camera scenes with voice over. It creates a lust of seeing the next picture but ends up confusing since there always will be some sort of talking while we finally see it.
10/10 for it's orignallity and idea, 8/10 for the result.
