Pas de Trois

About This Movie

Pas de Trois is a fascinating little gem that pulls back the curtain on Bruce Conner's Breakaway. It's like a peek into the creative process, capturing the atmosphere of experimentation and the rawness of the moment. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in the behind-the-scenes happenings. There’s an almost voyeuristic quality to it that draws you in, and you can't help but appreciate the practical effects and Conner’s artistic vision. It’s one of those films that feels intimate yet expansive in what it reveals about both the art and the artist. It’s not flashy, just a thoughtful exploration of creativity in motion.

Pas de Trois is somewhat elusive in collector circles, often overshadowed by Conner's more famous works. Its limited availability on various formats adds to its allure, making it a sought-after piece for those interested in experimental cinema. The film has appeared primarily on obscure compilations, and its scarcity makes it an interesting topic among collectors who appreciate the nuances of artist documentaries. If you find a copy, it's worth discussing the different cuts and versions that have circulated in the underground film community.
