  Review by Timmy Tim ★★★½

  I really liked this. It felt oddly relaxing and honestly kinda satisfying too. I just loved how everything flashed before my very own eyes in such a quick and intricate pace. It was strange, it was beautiful, and it was very experimental, but I loved nearly every second of it. It felt like an anxiety attack brought to life.

  I'm super curious about strobing and afterimages, so I see this as where Breer is really starting to cook. I also love the bolder, more graphic approach he takes here. It makes the most sense visually considering that he would want high impact from each frame, and it looks great. I find it a more appealing style compared to his earlier works, which mostly feature thin lines that make for sparse images as if he was still working out how best he wanted to approach the canvas of each frame. I love the thick, inky black lines and their contrast with all the rich reds and blues. It's a super saturated film, which really speaks to my aesthetics. Including random…

  Review by Robert Beksinski ★★★

  Very much in the same style as Brakhage's painted film strip shorts but whereas he utilized no sound, Breer accompanies his bombardment of visuals with a unusual soundtrack. When it comes to these type of films, I guess it depends on one's own taste of the painted visuals and use of editing on which they prefer. For this film I think I liked it more than some of Brakhages although I cannot really pinpoint why.

  Breer's painted dark colored brush strokes flashing rapidly past the eye just seem to intrigue me more I guess. I did think the soundtrack fit well with the images and seemed to fit in harmony with the fast paced editing. Still I think for what it is, the film was a little over long.

  I love watching films that are made without the use of a camera. Painting directly on the film strip is a very interesting means of making a film, and Blazes utilizes this technique as a means of bombarding the viewer with miscellaneous images. It's a lot of fun to watch the colours and shapes rapidly cut past, so I recommend watching it as a good use of 3 minutes.
