In a rented house in Toronto, Lipsett stages a series of mysterious rituals, appearing onscreen in the guise of various characters, among them, an archeologist, a soldier, a scientist, a magician, and the Monkey King of the Peking opera. Dense with enigmatic gestures and private allusions, Strange Codes operates, in Lipsett’s words, “at the midway points between the primitive, ritualized world and the world of logic and science.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eNewly restored 5K digital master from the film’s surviving elements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAudio commentary and liner notes by media artist and writer Brett Kashmere\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e38 minutes of out-takes from the film\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrange Codes: A Breakdown\u003c\/strong\u003e, a shot analysis of the film by film preservationist Stephen Broomer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReadings from the Instruction Box: Arthur Lipsett on the Secret Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e, a visit with Arthur Lipsett, who reflects on the natural collage of the universe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BLACK ZERO","offers":[{"title":"BLU-RAY","offer_id":46695277002971,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/ScreenShot2023-01-29at3.41.24PM.webp?v=1779026174","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/strange-codes-1975","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
