Experimental short uses Ray Charles' “What'd I Say” as accompaniment to constantly shifting collage of female nude, cartoons, and newsreels of atomic bomb explosions.

Let me start this review by saying that I am not the greatest experimental movie fan at all, so a 6/10 from me is like an 8/10 by everybody else I guess, maybe even a 9. With this 4-minute film here, director Bruce Conner really won me over. I thought this was quite impressive. Ray Charles delivers nicely as usual and the images make an impact too and work together very well with the music although they are so so different. This is what I call an artistic approach, not filming a lemon for 7 minutes. I applaud Bruce Conner for this achievement and I highly recommend it to everybody else. An experimental film that is easily accessible for everybody. Very well done. Very relevant. watch it.
