"...it was really good to see the film and the more I thought of it
later the more it seemed strong as image of alienation, emptiness and
just strangeness, those shots of colour on the surface somehow of those
trailers, the gloss of them just being there, and the tents, the kind
of mystery and (un-heavy-handed) alienation at the same time, without
some spurious "meanings" intercut, they had a time of, a necessary time
of, their own to impart their effect(s)....and even putting the shots
together into some meaningful relation like the marionettes made a sort
of sense later, in terms retroactively of the sense of bewildered
distanciation....and scale or lack of it, that kind of expectation
throughout and then changing the expectation when experiencing nothing
happening....no anecdotal copouts....anyway, the whole thing gained
rather than lost afterwards which is always a good sign with films I
think...." Peter Gidal
