Notes:

A film about a young man, a girl and a dog, in which the film is given a high contrast. The effect is of silhouette figures with the picture flattened. The girl is trying to fly with wings more symbolic than practical and the young man and the dog also make attempts. Music is by poet Leonard Cohen and is performed by the Stormy Clovers. Available in DVD from NFBC.
