★★★★★ · Artistic film · JulieMeitz · 2014-07-02

Very nice artistic cinematographic film ! Many continuous panning into CUs shots with dissolves...lovers of Vertov's "man with a movie camera" will enjoy this ;-)

★★★ · is it worth it for the end? · Spuzz · 2004-03-10

seemingly non-ending salute to measuring stuff to 348/400 of an inch just goes on and on, telling us look how we can measure this! Look how we can measure that! Till it finally ends on what I remember this film for, the Third Reich salute made by measuring instruments! Very odd animation of measuring tools in a somewhat shall we say, propaganstic sequence. It even has multiple shots of a car coming towards us and a somewhat sublinal "go" being repeated over and over... Very bizarre. This film could have easily been cute in half but keeping the fascist ending intact.
