Visionary film,|cp. 274 520 In this film, Belson imitates creation but in a more violent way than in his film Allures. Here he portrays the Big Bang both visually and aurally: the film begins wiuth images of crowded atoms smashing against each other while the electronic music soundtrack imitates sounds of explosions. Galaxies and orbs explode and are re-formed, giving the impression of destruction being necessary for creation. A sun-like orb appears at the end, as if the solar system has been born. 520 Constantly changing images defined by color rather than line create a state of nonordinary reality evoking metaphysical dimensions of sight and sound. The sound track shifts from electronic music to the sound of thunder and rain and to organ music. 541 0 PFA 1604-01-2667. D0005 541 0 PFA 1604-53-3970.
