Good Film
Black Ice (1994) *** (out of 4) From what I've read, this film was inspired by the director sliding ona patch of black ice, which required him to have eye surgery. The filmhas a lot of the same style and images of Glaze of Cathexis so Iwouldn't have been able to tell the film's apart had someone just shownme both of them without letting me know the titles. Even though I foundthis one familiar, it still worked as a visual treat for the eyes. Onceagain we get all sorts of rich and vivid colors flashing on the screen,running just under 90-seconds, and the film keeps you glued the entireway. Since I'm still new to the director I'm not sure if he ever usessound or not but I think the silence in the films really help draw youin and I can't imagine watching these with any music.

Black Ice and the Cold of Space: A Surprising Parallel
'Black Ice' is one of Brakhage's most striking films. An unusual depthof field is attained by melding linear with forward motion; the viewerexperiences Brakhage's sumptuous flickers and splatters and explosionsof color as if passing through them, rather than, as is more frequentlythe case in Brakhage's motion painting, as if watching them on a singleplane.An unusual connection will be noticed by viewers with a wide range ofcinematic experience: this film shares a startling similarity ofcinematic resonance with the V'Ger cloud fly-through in Robert Wise's'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' (1979). The use of multi-plane visualdepth and the frequent recourse to a deep blue color palette combinedwith flashes of hotter colors (reds and oranges in Brakhage, whites inWise) links the two sequences visually; the settings (a patch of blackice and the literal fear of loss of vision in Brakhage; the depth ofspace and the absence of understanding-- metaphorical blindness-- inWise) supply the unexpected intellectual and emotional link. It's notthat the two sequences are identical, of course (Brakhage's sequencesare much more rapid, for one), but that they work well together at adeeper level than mere superficial similarities. As it is unlikely thatWise and his collaborators knew Brakhage's work, and improbable thatBrakhage was influenced by the earlier film. this stands as anintriguing illustration of the ways in which related aesthetic,emotional, and intellectual questions can independently stimulaterelated answers.'Black Ice' is very short, but it has a far greater impact than itslength would suggest; it is truly an example of visual poetry, and iswell worth seeking out.
