Oh wait, I have seen that. Strangely, I didn't know it was Brakhage. At any rate, I find it hard to rate/list his films and this is no exception.

I just read the Hogg book too. Cool. Did you read the full 2000-page version of Dream of the Red Chamber, or did you read an abridged version?

I'm afraid it was just the abridged version. I didn't learn it was abridged until I was almost done with it. I fail at Chinese literature.

Two things: isn't Varda's film '61? And The Trial most definitely isn't an American film.
