Quite literally a found-footage film, assembled from bits and pieces of silents that sat in a vault for years. It's a pretty cool experiment, full of surprisingly affecting moments in which the artificiality of its construction conveys ideas of temporality, deterioration and death. The ending, in which the film breaks down beyond recognition, is a psychedelic trip.
