I was so delighted to turn up to the MoMA and find this was being exhibited. So much so that we even came back the next day to watch more. I absolutely love The Clock. It is a masterpiece. It is hypnotic and compelling and an absolute exemplar of the core medium of film, the juxtaposition of discrete images to imply causation and connection. You watch these intercut clips, knowing they are unrelated, and still start trying to unconsciously thread together a narrative; actors reoccur at different ages. The thrill of seeing a film you recognise (In The Mood For Love ) turn up. I could watch this all day.
