My rating:
It’s a short experimental movie (18′) made by character actor Clu Galager, one of the most surprising pieces I’ve watched recently. It’s visually beautiful and bold, shot by legendary cinematographer László Kovács. It shows the innocence of childhood together with the potential for human violence. It was the inspiration for George Washington.

The movie is really visually beautiful. It was a pleasure watching it. It shows that external beauty and being wealth don’t result in fulfillment. The beauty is somewhere else. Inside.
