Formed from old, literally decaying, segments of film, we are presented with a non-narrative montage of scenes in various stages of dissolving, all accompanied by an often rather forceful and dramatic soundtrack.

br /From the very beginning, when we are confronted with flickering footage of whirling Dervishes in the middle east, it's clear that there is a lot to look at, soak up and ponder - the ancient-ness and otherworldiness of much of this film's content is just mind boggling. Time passes, nothing stays the same, and even our records of the past often disappear.

br /All of this may sound heavy but somehow it isn't - the film proves itself to be very entertaining and fascinating to watch. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes seeking out film curiosities.
