Format:Blu-ray
This is not a movie for anyone who likes to have his or her hand held while watching a movie. Although there is a plot, it is not of your typical follow-the-bouncing-ball type. I suggest you read the accompanying booklet beforehand, so you know a little about what on earth is going on.
What I love most about this movie (I have the Blu-Ray version) is the gorgeousness of its images. The bleached out video shots are languorous and intoxicating. The live action parts are less successful (Sebastian Saville is not the world's best actor, to put it mildly).
If you want to get into the Jane Arden/Jack Bond frame of mind I suggest you start with their earlier movies - Separation and The Other Side Of The Underneath. If you can stomach their particular twisted world view then you may successfully graduate to Anti-Clock.

Jane Arden's work makes few concessions to mainstream audiences. Don't buy this if you want something clear and pacy. If you are open to challenging, experimental work then here's some for you. The 'Vibration' short is a real find.

Pretentious-Artiste "personal statement" alert, ladies and gentlemen. Jane Arden is a glorious British treasure when it comes to '60s / '70s film, let's not underestimate that, but so was Jesse Matthews and she never had to expound her feelings on something as anodyne as this.
Arden and her co-director Jack Bond originally planned this film to be a short piece, but allowed it to grow into an unwieldy 107 minutes; and it shows. The plot (what plot?) revolves around actor Sebastianne Saville (Arden's son) choosing to withdraw from the Atomic age and all the empty-headed nihilism that comes with it. He wanders around unbound by the constraints of time, spouting aphorisms that would be best consigned to the back of a pack of Swan Vestas. And oh yes, a lot of camera trickery is involved. Probably trying help bridge the gaping void that this film finds at it's centre, and it doesn't work.
So, don't approach this film if you think "Art" is best left to basements in museums where it can leave the public alone, and not on your Plasma Screen. Damien Hurst and his ilk probably enjoy it, though. Well done.
