Clocks

About This Movie

Clocks (1983) is a fascinating dive into the intricacies of timekeeping. It’s this slow-paced, contemplative piece that feels almost like a visual poem. The camera lingers on various clocks, capturing their rhythmic ticking, the way gears mesh and spin, and the meticulous craftsmanship behind them. The atmosphere is elusive—there’s a meditative quality that invites you to reflect on time itself. Though the director remains unknown, the film stands out for its unique approach to documentary filmmaking, eschewing traditional narratives for a more sensory experience. You really feel the passage of time as the film unfolds in its own deliberate rhythm. It's not just about clocks; it's about that quiet reflection they invoke.

This film is somewhat obscure, with limited releases over the years, making it a curious find for collectors. The scarcity of physical formats adds to its allure, with some early VHS copies now sought after. Interest in experimental films has seen a resurgence, and this title, despite its anonymity, has piqued curiosity among collectors who appreciate avant-garde cinema and its exploration of time.
