"Centuries of June" or "Bolts of Melody" is a black-and-white movie from the 1950s by the very young Stan Brakhage and the not so young Joseph Cornell, both fairly known in the experimental movie scene. Unfortunately, their collaboration here does not result in anything substantial in my opinion. To me this 13.5-minute film looked like something everybody could make if they got a good camera. I could have been more generous with my rating if this was made 50 years earlier, but there is absolute nothing memorable in here and I felt it dragged on many occasions. It is a documentary (and Brakhage has not done that many) but it does not inform, teach or delivers anything noteworthy to the audience. I give it a thumbs down. Don't watch.
