Description: Manhattan Island is a maypole around which its bridges execute a beguiling dance. The filmmaker has freed these structures from their everyday connotations and has set them in motion to two different musical tracks - an electronic score by Louis and Bebe Barron and a jazz score by Teo Macero. Each track so affects the viewer's response to the imagery of the film that he imagines the content to have been altered.
