One of 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

Neither cinema nor art in my opinion. How many more of these things do I have to see before I die?
The above quote might lead you to believe there is a plot. Not so. This is 45 minutes of a camera zooming in on a window in a mostly empty room. Occasionally people walk through. One fell down.
Concept art does not entertain me. Soundtrack starts out promisingly enough with John Lennon singing “Strawberry Fields”, But no such luck. Thereafter we are treated to at least half an hour of electronic noise. You have been warned.
