About This Movie

Gallery is this fascinating exploration of art through an animated lens. With its rapid-fire sequence of 2000 images, it feels like a kaleidoscope of Western art, each frame almost a breath of inspiration. The pacing is relentless, which matches the vibrant score by Wendy Carlos—her electronic music adds a surreal, almost dreamlike quality to the entire experience. It’s not just about what you see; it’s how it makes you feel, like racing through a museum at breakneck speed. And the choice of visuals? A blend of the classical and the modern, creating a unique dialogue between various art movements. It stands out for its ambition and the way it uses animation to transform static images into something dynamic.

Gallery has a bit of an elusive status among collectors. Its original release is somewhat obscure, and finding good quality versions can take some effort. The animation style and artistic vision are distinct, making it a curious piece for those who appreciate experimental forms of documentary filmmaking. Over the years, it has gained a niche following, particularly among fans of avant-garde art and animation, which keeps it on collector radars.
