Synopsis:

Patrick Bokanowski's "L'Ange," seems to intentionally obfuscate its meanings. Or worse, to contain little or no meaning at all. Though a double-bill of these two films may have seemed fitting, it has the unfortunate effect of exposing the weaknesses and pretensions of the longer work. Bokanowski, who lives and works in France, aspires to the enigmatic, metaphoric grandeur. His film is made up of five more or less unrelated sequences connected by strobe-lit shots of dark corridors and stairwells. In one, a brightly lit room, a man with a saber lunges violently, time and time again, at a doll that hangs from the ceiling by a string. In another, a charwoman places a ceramic jug of milk onto a table, walks away, only to have the jug crash to the floor and break. In each of these sequences, the action -- what there is of it -- is repeated over and over again in a kind of continuous loop.
