One of Klahr's masterpieces, Altair is an 8 minute collage color -noir culled from late-40s pages of Cosmopolitan, which induces a sense of claustrophobia and dread through its use of Stravinsky's The Firebird.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Lewis Klahr's "hands-on" approach brings us to space, or inner space, or a general idea of science fiction relative to 50s iconography and cocktail parties.As subjects move around under the hand-eyes of Klahr's particular approach to animation, relative orbits are created with maps of stars, lists of alcoholic beverages, and a slow spinning sensation throughout. Outer space could be so dizzying because it is outside of gravity, or inner space could be just as dizzying because it could be upset... the cause or effect of which might be the alcohol, either way.Along with it comes a strong sense of the familiar, the relative.--PolarisDiB
