Description: Time for Clocks Ken Smith sez: This slow film follows two nameless, voiceless, serious-faced children through their day as the camera repeatedly cuts to CUs of a clock to show us that each hour brings something new and different into their unexciting lives The narration is delivered in insipid rhyming couplets: Clocks are pretty wonderful in a special kind of way, They tell us just what time it is at any time of day Good use of minimalist sets and gaudy, colored spotlights
