The snow had melted and it was impossible to repeat. Standards of Perfection applied to all the selves, the relationships, the layers of memory. Where are the tables for one?" "Suddenly unfolds before one's eyes a pictorial work, as taut, complexly rich and beyond verbal logic, working as a music piece of Penderecki or Cage. I think the picture web about time and death language belongs to the most complete that the experimental film has reached." - a translation from Carl Henrik Svenstedt's article, Expressen (daily Swedish National newspaper), January 1980"--www.canyoncinema.org; PFA 1612-129-13245.
