23rd Psalm Branch: Part II

A violent (but meticulously timed) collision of war footage, death, hand-painted sections, flashing lights, and other odds n' ends. It's a dizzying and often fascinating sight, but the problem is there's too damn much of it. With this kind of visual overload, eventually the brain starts to treat it as background noise. The second part is the weaker of the two; it's got a lot of stuff in it that doesn't seem to fit. I'm sure Brakhage had his reasons for this, the first part feels more focused.
