Michael Snow presents another beautiful but challenging meditation on the moving image and the interpretive eye in this feature-length work. Solar Breath consists of a sixty-two minute shot of the window of Snow's cabin in Northern Canada. As the curtain gently flaps with the breeze and we periodically glimpse the view outside, nature and chance choose the precise nature of the composition at any given moment. Nortnern Caryatids (aka Solar Breath) was screened as a special installation at the 2007 Rotterdam International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
