Visually Impressive

There's something inherently calming about undersea / deep ocean footage, which this film displays well, and it becomes somewhat hypnotic at times.

There is no voiceover and there are no captions, so the viewer/listener is left pretty much alone to interpret what's going on. I must therefore say that, without the "synopsis" detailed here (and presumably elsewhere accompanying the release), I got none of "time travel" or allusory context - but that's OK from my point of view.

Whether the artist is happy for people to view it as "just a pretty film" is another matter - but in my view it succeeds at that.
