I agree the idea that this experimental film should be showed at the museum or contemporary exhibitions, but from another perspective, harmony in between the sound and visual materials create considerable texture. As an architect, there are nice observations about the usage of textile materials. Sometimes we see a pattern comprise of textile layers and this pattern reflect the actual pattern of textile such as quadrants.
Textile is interesting materials, it is dominated on the two axis so create a plane, on the other hand we see the movement of textile and change in the volume at the scenes which textiles collect in the bag.
In my humble opinion, there is so much natural inference in the film, thanks to creator!

Strange, Intriguing, And Very Colourful
dommercaldi9 May 2020
Pros:
1. The editing is fantastic as it simmers with kinetic energy, giving the film a lively feel.
2. The score envelops the movie in a constant on-the-go energy (which suits the content of the documentary), whilst also slowing down on occasion to show off the fabrics in full.
3. The colour palette is gorgeous and the visuals, including the natural scenery of the world, are just mind-blowing.
4. The documentary does a brilliant job at highlighting as to how different people interpret the same item.
5. The sound design is absolutely terrific and it, again, adds a further layer of liveliness to the documentary.
Cons: 1. With the documentary lacking a strong and formal structure, it's difficult to fully engage with the documentary. 2. The documentary starts to drag after the first 20 minutes.

Bizarre Bazaar

An experimental exploration of the world of textiles, their manufacturing, their sale, and their consumption. It's not really worth sitting down, having a tea, and paying close attention to, because that's not the sort of purpose experimental docs like this serve. "The Grand Bizarre" is best suited for a screening room in a museum, where its 61 delightfully frizzy epileptic minutes can run on loop for days on end, where you can pop in, sit down, watch a few minutes of it until you get the point, and then leave. It's a diversion of a film, but in that context, it's really tremendous.
Especially because it's basically a music video that goes on for an hour. Put this on at a house party and dance around to it. The music slaps.
A couple of highlights:
None of these are spoilers. This is an experimental documentary, not "Inception."

A couple of highlights:
- A surprise swastika! Formed by textiles tied to the ends of the blades of a ceiling fan in motion.
- Surprise "Rhythm of the Night," continuing the trend of "Rhythm of the Night" appearing in every movie in the late 2010s.
- The only film I've seen that ends with a sneeze, cut to black.
None of these are spoilers. This is an experimental documentary, not "Inception."
