It feels like an artistic endeavor, setting aside traditional storytelling elements such as spoken words or a clear storyline to instead present a collection of visuals and music. Those who appreciate experimental cinema—or wish to project that image—should find something here. The cinematography brought to mind documentaries about the natural world, which might not be accidental given the subject matter seems preoccupied with things perceived as unnatural. There are depictions of destruction, including building collapses and explosions, a bridge shown repeatedly, what appeared to be a nuclear detonation; then time-lapse sequences of city traffic, highways, and large groups of people walking, along with slow-motion shots of crowds moving; plus scenes of rundown housing, deserted buildings, and children playing in water spraying from fire hydrants—it’s essentially that kind of experience. I'm a fan of Philip Glass’s music, but at times I wasn’t sure the selections were appropriate for what was happening on screen. As he apparently communicated to those involved multiple times before they persuaded him to participate, film scoring isn’t really his area of expertise. As one of the characters in The Big Chill says, just allow the artwork to wash over you. At minimum, it's worth seeing the clothing and hairstyles from the unusual 1980s!
