La Région Centrale

I watched Michael Snow's 1971 experimental film La Région Centrale last year.  The film was shot in remote and barren northern Quebec using a robotic arm.  I love the experimentalism with unconventional camera movement, perfect for a film expressing as its themes the cosmic relationships of space and time.  But a full 180 minutes of spatial disorientation was a bit overwhelming for me.  Here's a clip of the amazing film:
