I Agree.
The bridge in this film (Pont de Ré road bridge at La Rochelle, France) visually sweeps above our heads and serves as a literal and metaphorical link or connection between two states. Variations in playback speed and split colour channels overlaid on one another create an oneiric quality and a sense of motion aftereffect (MAE). The footage slowly washes in and out eventually disappearing altogether. The soundtrack is comprised of a whispered voiceover designed to elicit an Autonomous Median Sensory Response (AMSR). Asynchronized subtitles conflate elements of the Lord’s Prayer with compliance phrases encountered on the internet.
