'some days
never really existed
days when the sea mist crept up the valley
and hung low over the rising tide
like damp butter muslin
the telling of the tale
is the day after the night
when the pictures show the story
so stories are heard
but seldom seen'
'Pictures is an extraordinary and intriguing film, both in terms of the images and the sound and of its effect which is one of overflowing abundance...(with music by Lindsay Cooper and singing by Dagmar Krause). (It) is a perfected film and succeeds in making real and tactile the presence of woman/women. The voices interweave to provide a supporting texture. With its intricate and sophisticated aesthetics it is an advance because it manages to bring form and technology together.'- Susan Stein, Undercut
