"Regardless of country of origin, classification, or labels, one characteristic seems to pervade the creative film expression of our time. That is a growing awareness that the film medium has a formal as well as a representational aspect. That it can best communicate vision and realty when it organically exploits its own plastic means and mode of composition. And that for a film to move people deeply, the filmmaker needs not only a special way of seeing experience, but a specific way of filming it. This film tells the story of a man who has a rendezvous with memory and desire; a man who can neither escape from his present nor his past. Moving on two levels–the objective and subjective–the film shifts back and forth from vision to reality: from memory to desire; from the prison of obsessions to the metaphors of regression."–L.J.
