Shot in New York with a spring-wound 16mm Bolex, the film opens with footage of the ticker tape parade for a returning astronaut and then drifts like a piece of paper on, above, and below the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Says Cohen: “Sometimes I just wander around with my camera -- I like to see whatever comes around the corner, and sometimes I just like the corner itself.” Due to post-9/11 restrictions on what can be photographed in American cities, what once might have been considered to be a strictly “lyrical” film takes on unexpected political intonations.
