12/66: Cosinus Alpha

About This Movie

12/66: Cosinus Alpha is quite an intriguing piece; it's a final nod to Otto Muehl's influence and marks a distinctive close to Kren’s exploration of sensuality through montage. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to drift between the layered visuals. It’s not just a film; it’s an experience that oozes an experimental atmosphere, with practical effects that feel raw and unfiltered. There’s a certain tension in the juxtaposition of images that keeps you engaged, but also leaves you pondering. It’s a visceral journey rather than a traditional narrative, and that’s what makes it stand out in Kren’s body of work.

This film is not easily found; its limited run and obscure references make it a curious piece for collectors. Variations in formats have been noted, but original prints are scarce, adding to its allure. Interest among collectors seems to be rising as more folks discover Kren’s work, especially with his links to the avant-garde scenes of the 60s. Those who appreciate experimental cinema should keep an eye out, as this film encapsulates a moment in time that’s often overlooked.
