Let me start this review by saying that I am not the greatest experimental movie fan at all, so a 6/10 from me is like an 8/10 by everybody else I guess, maybe even a 9. With this 4-minute film here, director Bruce Conner really won me over. I thought this was quite impressive. Ray Charles delivers nicely as usual and the images make an impact too and work together very well with the music although they are so so different. This is what I call an artistic approach, not filming a lemon for 7 minutes. I applaud Bruce Conner for this achievement and I highly recommend it to everybody else. An experimental film that is easily accessible for everybody. Very well done. Very relevant. watch it.

Certainly Moves Along
Hitchcoc29 April 2019
Up until a few minutes ago, I had not heard of Bruce Connor. Now I have watched "A Movie" and "Cosmic Ray." Both are montages which use stock footage. This one incorporates nude women, dancing and bomb explosions. It moves lightning fast and must have been a real tour de force to put together. I'm not sure how great a movie it is, but it certainly lets future filmmakers know what a camera and intense editing can do. The point? I don't know. I do like that Ray Charles song.
