Rented for $9 for a no admission showing. $17.50 if admission is charged "A climactic, revelatory episode from the existence of an adolescent Narcissus. The protagonist here is a questioning seeker to whom the truth of his own nature is gradually, inevitably revealed. The continuity of the film establishes an image of desire, always there. Just beyond and then, in the moment of fulfillment, the truth is precipitated, and the question is answered. An attempt to present the motion picture itself as a unique filmic reality developed out of the significant juxtaposition of the imaginative and the real, the inner image and the outer vision."

The type of still photography familiar in gallery exhibitons Is here carried into motion. The ceaseless panning of the hand-held camera is held at precisely the same pace and emphasis, the curious eye attracted only by the objects seen. An experiment in the art of the film, it is perhaps the first motion picture which has not a trace of any attempt to lend literary meanings to its material." Distributor THE IDEA.
