Presents a visual poem, unaccompanied by narration, in which watercolor sketches and wash drawings of people, at first individualized, become progressively more abstract against an accelerating rock score.
"Summary: A most original animated film which depicts the character people express through the way they walk. Figures amble, stride, walk casually, gracefully, purposefully and self-consciously across the screen, their movements caught by the artist. The humour and individuality of the various styles of walking is accented or underlined by the lively musical score. Awards: Academy Award nomination."
"An artist's observation of the way people walk. Ryan Larkin (Syrinx, Cityscape) employs a variety of techniques - line drawing, colour wash, etc. - to catch and reproduce the motion of people afoot."

"An artist's observation of the way people walk. Ryan Larkin (Syrinx, Cityscape) employs a variety of techniques--line drawing, color wash, etc.--to catch and reproduce the motion of people afoot.

Film without words."
