Viewing Notes

Decided to view this completely forgetting that I watched the individual segments via YT a few years ago. Kanopy has both features so it was nice to view this one as a collection. Not sure it really works better that way since all are so different and non-sensical. But they look nice on the television. Maybe there is a real story in each of the segments and knowing that would improve the viewing?
