LA COULEUR DE LA FORME

by Hy HIRSH
1960 / 16mm / color / sound / 1S / 7' 00

With his last film, Hirsch more than ever justifies a critic’s description as ‘the Matisse of the Cinema’. Partly collage, partly a study of movement, Hirsch’s technique does on film what kinetic art does in sculpture. Mixing positives and negatives, solarisation, double exposure etc., to produce a mental freewheeling of images, a brilliant kaleidoscope dreamworld. With its tangerine skies it might be subtitled ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds’.
