One textbook on experimental film referred to Marie Menken as "an amateur, but an amateur in the most beautiful sense of the world." Well, that has been the interesting dichotomy of avant-garde cinema since day one. With a different set of rules which defy conventional movie-making logic, it is very hard to separate which of these films are disciplined works of art or just a waste of time. No other genre of film-making relies so much on the subjectivity of the viewer-- regardless of how much one may "get it", it's still all a matter of taste. Case in point, my "take it or leave it" attitude towards most of the Marie Menken films I've seen. I "get them", and even then feel they go on too long.
This classic avant-garde short is of the perilous journey of sperm cells finding their way to the womb. Considering that the little critters are running around on a microscope slide for the purposes of this film, their little task is futile at best.
Adding to the extreme closeups of the little ones scurrying about is a matted image of a flame (passion? excitations? pressure to be the first one in the ovum?) and the sound of a cavalry bugle on the soundtrack. Even at a few minutes in length, this film takes its one joke too far, but it's a fun concept.
