Sirius Remembered consists out of footage taken over a period of a couple of months of how the family dog (Sirius) was rotting away after having been thrown out of the wood. Stan Brakhage’s movies centered on all aspects of life and death was no exception for him, not even in such a gruesome way. The movie last approximately 6 minutes and is black and white. Brakhage’s movies are always a bit, hit or miss with me. I didn’t care all that much for this one. Not per se for the slightly disturbing subject matter. It is just 6 minutes of very, shaky vague footage, that looks like a VHS which has been taped over too much. Sometimes you can make out the dog. Doesn’t do much for me.
