Ethics

About This Movie

So, there's this short film called 'Ethics' by Yigal Borstein that dives into the mind of Baruch Spinoza. It's quite the experimental piece, really. The film plays with geometry—think of it almost as a visual representation of Spinoza's philosophical ideas. You’ll see how Borstein captures multiple perspectives at once, which gives it this layered feel. The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, and it encourages you to engage with the visuals and ideas on a deeper level. It’s not your standard narrative, but that’s what sets it apart. You might find it lacking in traditional structure, but that’s kind of the point, right?

Finding 'Ethics' can be a bit challenging, as it hasn't seen a wide release and is often overshadowed by mainstream titles. There are a few obscure formats floating around, like VHS and old festival screenings, which can excite collectors looking for something unique. Its scarcity and niche appeal make it a captivating piece for those who appreciate philosophical cinema and experimental artistry.
