This is quite a curious compendium of features loosely connected by a woman’s face used as a living interstitial between a series of sequences that illustrate a range of styles of animation, photography, even the odd contribution from an actual person and with a score that would not have sounded out of place in “The Forbidden Planet” from just a few years earlier. There is quite an interesting flash photography exhibition of kick boxing and my own favourite - a rather voracious wig that manages to quaff an entire  pint of milk. It isn’t a film in any traditional sense and it’s creativity hits and misses as it goes on, but it is imaginative and worth a look if you’re into experimental film-making.
