I just saw it these week and was blown away by those superimpostions! I've had similar ideas myself recently, it's annoying when you see someone else doing it...

Such a talented film-maker and hardly known....why?

I haven't been able to find much of his stuff, but I did find Kippur in a public library(in a small college town) so his name must be getting out there to some degree.

I feel as though FZ was just scratching the surface and that style could be employed more extensively to create something even more sublime and audacious, but yea it would lack a certain originality if it didn't come from him. Oh well.
