Review of Wavelength (1967) by Private U — 13 Dec 2008

This film's concept worked successfully. The light and sound frequencies and the zooming complimenting each other as the camera zoomed in or changed focus and the carefully made textural composition at different times of the day until the end of it is reached are clear and flowing elements of an cohesive idea/structure from start to finish.

A materialist approach to film although it seems to have an inflational effect, until matter itself becomes abstract at the end through that photography of waves, through zooming in, instead of everything becoming more palpable and intelligible.

At the very end, it zooms out, as if the more we focus the less we can see. Perhaps this is the way life is, perhaps it's the cycle of all things..
