Free Radicals (1958)

In this powerful abstract film with a soundtrack of African drum music, Lye scratched "white ziggle-zag-splutter scratches" on to black leader, using a variety of tools from saw teeth to arrow heads. The first version of the film won a major award at the International Experimental Film Festival Held in Brussels in 1958 in association with the World's Fair. Stan Brakhage described the film as "an almost unbelievably immense masterpiece".

Austrian auteur Barbara Albert uses complex mathematics, chaos theory and the music of Dutch pop sensation A-Ha to explore the connections that link a group of disparate characters.

I have seen Barbara Albert's Free Radicals three times now and could surely watch it 10 times more, finding something else on each visit to salve the soul.

I saw this movie a long time ago. I really liked it, I want to watch it again but I can't find it.

Although Free Radicals overflows with messy feelings, it maintains such a measured distance from the gathered cries and whispers that it is difficult to empathize with the characters' fears and sorrows. Most of the women are victims, most of the men selfish pigs, and their stories are jarringly punctuated by brutish, joyless bouts of sex.

Propels you to ponder the order (or randomity) of our very existences, and to question the level at which interaction with others only amplifies our inherent loneliness, and how society has brainwashed us into believing we must be with someone else in order to find happiness instead of finding our own inner guidance and peace. An examination of how that sense of confusion and loneliness leads us to search outside ourselves, to others or to "God" to find answers and meaning to the whole bloody fiasco called life. It is Altmanesque, with a dark Austrian perspective, finding humor in the places in which we are most embarrassed to laugh. In short, existential and slightly depressing, as all existential movies are.
