The first thing that captures my attention about Man Ray's Emak Bakia is the music. I am assuming that the instruments that are playing include that of a violin and a Cello. For me, this type of music is quite relaxing, yet at the same time, the dissonance that these two instruments are making is rather ominous as well. Having said that, the next emotion that I feel is a sense of loneliness, or longing. A few times throughout the film, I feel as though I, the viewer, should be searching for something that may never be found. The other reaction to this film that I have would be that of retreating back into myself. For some reason, watching the rhythmic and repetitive motions, it feels as though I am forced to withdraw, and take a closer look at myself. I rather enjoy this piece, because of the feeling of being transported. The film, in a sense, is allowing my mind to travel at it's own pace, to places that may have otherwise been left untraveled. Below are the two links for the first and second parts of this film.
