Synopsis

Gestalt was shot over the course of a year in a Tokyo dormitory. Each day, Ishida would paint on the wall and photograph it using the available light from the window. The 7-minute long film, which is accompanied by haunting organ music composed by J.S. Bach, consists of those several seconds of film Ishida shot daily.

Mixed Feelings
I stumbled upon this randomly, and since it was only 7 minutes long, I decided "What the heck, I'll watch this."

It's basically just a bunch of lines and abstract art across a wall next to a window. Honestly, it was pretty mesmerizing. The 7 minutes didn't feel that long, and the art and music combined was actually soothing in a way.

There wasn't really a story (unless you want to get really deep and philosophical with art) and no characters. It's just art and music.

Give this a watch if you have 7 minutes to spare. It's definitely not a waste of time, but it's also ...
