: City symphony or a pedestrian montage, shot walking around San Francisco, arrested by scenes of decay and chaos, later using the cityscape in montage to manifest dread of that (happening to me?). The motion indicated is hectic tumbling, almost in control enough to be in flight (fleeing), almost flying enough to be in ecstasy. "End over end" "never ending series of endings" (over end over), which describes the kind of elliptical structure of the montage.
