What do you think of Stan Brakhage? HOw do you think he compares to Lynch, von Trier, Jodorosky and Jamil Jarares?
Post Body

I've seen a few of Brackage's works, a combination of his films and short films. Obviously, his works tend to be very, very strange. Even by postmodern filmic standards, he is weird. His stuff has blobs of colour, shapes, weird footage, and hardly any characters or plot.

What do you think of him?

It's not hard to see why he isn't popular. I mean, even for an experimental director. There is something fascinating about his works though. The weirdness of them, the visual nature, and the way he probably isn't human. How did these works even get releases? It's surprising that Lynch's early works got released, and The Holy Mountain by Jodorosky (probably) took decades to come out. But how did Brakhage get his films out, and what kind of people like, or even, understand them? How do you feel about them? Do you have a favourite, and if so, why? Do you care about them?
