4/10
Better than most of his work

That does not say a lot though as I am far from being a big fan of director Stan Brakhage. This is a 2-minute movie he made 35 years ago and that runtime seems appropriate for his films in general. It's really dragging to sit through a 25-minute film from him, but at such a short duration, it's bearable. The title says basically what this film is about. We see lots of plants, leaves etc. from start to finish. I missed the "earthly delight" a bit, but that's not a major problem. In contrast to most other Brakhage works, you could even see here what this one is about. All in all, I would not recommend it, but still it's better than most of the other stuff he did, especially the famous "Dog Star Man" series.
