"Footage shot from the New York IRT and the Berlin S-Bahn are shifted and shuffled, interpenetrating in space and time with enthralling dexterity, leaving us adrift between the familiar and the strange, while personal diary entries, a Russian ballad and dubbed dialogue from 8 1/2 are rehearsed to conjure a sense of futility and impasse in the mundane rituals of daily life." — New York Video Festival, 1999.
