"Lines: Horizontal" is exactly what the title says: 6 minutes of horizontal lines from start to finish. The shape changes, as does the frequency and the colors of the lines and background as well. And while we watch this, we hear a soothing soundtrack. Norman McLaren was already an Academy Award winner when he made this movie here, so yeah what else is there to say. It is lines. You need to decide for yourself if you like it, if you maybe find it even relaxing or completely boring. For me, it was more of the latter. It is not a complete failure, but I also would not recommend this film to anybody. It is already one of the later works by Mr. McLaren, even if he wasn't even 50 years old and lived for another 25 years afterward. Thumbs down from me.
