" There is no magic behind the various rules of filmmaking- just a set of principles that are a result of a hundred years of trial and error on the part of  filmmakers attempting to communicate with their audience. No rules are sacred - there are absolutely no rules that cannot be broken. But you'd better know what you are doing and why. Breaking rules because they limit you is one thing; breaking rules because you have no idea of structure is something entirely different.

Bob Foss, p. vi (own emphasis), FILMMAKING NARRATIVE & STRUCTURAL TECHNIQUES,  1992, Silman-James Press

https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2012/03/05/solipsist/
Solipsist is an experimental film for the web generation, both its theme and appeal. Philosophical depths reveal themselves upon inspection, but the film’s surface pleasures are more accessible and immediately apparent: abundant, trippy effects, an engaging score and so much color! Its lush visual landscape is the immediate draw, and though the 10 minutes race by as you sit transfixed, the indelible images linger, affirming this as a product of a truly gifted and confident filmmaker. by JASON SONDHI read the full review at https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2012/03/05/solipsist/
