    Edit
    A spiral design spins dizzily. It's replaced by a spinning disk. These two continue in perfect alternation until the end: a spiral design, a disk. Each disk is labelled and can be read as it rotates. The messages, in French, feature puns and whimsical rhymes and alliteration. The final message comments on the spiral motif itself. —David Carless

    Anemic Cinema review
    A mesmeric seven minutes of avant-garde animation in which spiralling patterns alternate with nonsensical prose.
