A Minute Ago (2014)
A Minute Ago, which debuted this fall at High Art gallery in Paris, revolves around rotoscoping, the animation technique Rose calls “collaging in time and space.” Her most impressionistic work to date, the work takes its point of departure from two pieces of footage: a YouTube video of a freak summer hailstorm on a Siberian beach, and a tour given by the architect Philip Johnson of his landmark Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, just a few years before his death at age 98. “I was thinking about the relationship between shocking, catastrophic weather conditions and collage, which has a similar uncanny, suturing quality,” Rose says. Accompanied partly by a down-pitched version of Pink Floyd’s 1971 concert played “to the dead” at Pompeii, the work has an unsettling, morose quality.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
