Lovesong 3 (2001)

Three qualities of hand painted imagery interweave throughout this film 1 a mash of thick lines delineating colored shapes 2 thin black lines like drawings which most suggest recognizable bodyparts and 3 globs of pure color at interplay with each other An irregularity of rhythm produced by repetition of frames 2 3 and 4 times creates the sense of a driving force propelling the interweave of these essentially abstract displays threefourths of the way through the rhythmic intensity falters breaks down as it were almost becomes a mockery of its earlier sexual regularity Instead of variety midst regular beat the forms suggest some loose variance Two formal factors seem to save the day as it were 1 an increase of beseeming textures and 2 interruptive white flashes and these create a meaningful rhythmically and tonally coherent ending
