“In the same year, Jacobs began to investigate the Pulfrich pendulum effect, by which moving images are given a strong 3D depth. Seen through an ‘Eye Opener’ filter, a normally projected tracking shot of a snowbound suburban housing estate in Globe (previously titled Excerpt From The Russian Revolution, 1969) becomes an immense vista of shifting planes, tectonic vision of the highest order. (‘The found sound is X-ratable (not for children or Nancy Reagan) but is important to the film’s perfect balance (Globe is symmetrical) of divine and profane.’)” – Amos Vogel
