          • Quotes

            Voice-over: Dwell on uncomplicated beauty: The landscape, the sun on your face. Nothing touches you. Keep the image of your death cheerfully before you at all times. Gain perspective. Seek to clarify and comfort, not to obscure or mystify. Your aspirations are pointless; your ambitions come to nothing.

          A Simple Study
          Look, the man is an artist. His job is to understand the limits what can be done while at the same time embossing the world with his own shape.

          This is trivial, heavy. That's because he works with cinematic reduction. He knows how to work with sex, at least facial sex which is the movie version. The most common cinematic reductions include violence. And he tries that. But it it already so abstract there is no room for another Hartley layer.

          Ted's Evaluation: 2 of 4: Has some interesting elements.
