An attempt to transform a Roman Western into a Greek tragedy. The hero of Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine is easy to identify. Walking down the street unknowingly, he suddenly realizes that he is not only subject to the gruesome moods of several spectators but also at the mercy of the filmmaker.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Peter Tscherkassky's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
