I just adore that first one - the 1954 teenage drunkex. It's fascinating. The sounds he employed in that one are unforgettable. I actually wish he did more "sound" but I understand why he didn't. Anyway, that first one shows me that we have always been the same. 1954, even pre Leave It To Beaver, etc etc etc....but in reality, it was exactly like today in so many ways, and Brakhage was one of the very few to show this.
My fav one though is that very shortest one. 10secs or something. I've had dreams about that one. It's like some guy is being held down by some strange force. All that colour and movement, and the agony that I see there.....maybe not what Stan intended, if he intended anything at all, but that's what I see. (Eye Myth.) Unforgettable. He just cannot break free and run, or fly away.....
