Undulations

About This Movie

So, 'Undulations' is this intriguing experimental piece by Takashi Makino, you know? It really dives into a unique soundscape, crafted in collaboration with Canadian musician Cal Lyall. The film's atmosphere is a blend of visual poetry and auditory exploration, creating this almost hypnotic experience. Pacing is deliberately slow, inviting you to immerse yourself fully into its wave-like rhythms and textures. It's distinctively non-narrative, focusing instead on sensations and abstractions, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's something deeply engaging about its approach to film as art. You can feel the thought behind every frame, and the practical effects used give it this raw, genuine feel that’s hard to come by these days.

'Undulations' exists in a somewhat niche corner of the collector market, which adds to its appeal. It’s available primarily on limited editions, and there’s been some buzz among collectors regarding its scarcity. The film's unconventional structure and artistic merit certainly spark interest among enthusiasts of experimental cinema. As with many such works, finding a good quality print can be a bit of a hunt, making it a notable piece for those into the avant-garde.
