"A diary of free-spirited communal living (saunas, geodesic domes, bread baking, the defeathering of a duck), and a moment-by-moment observation of fleeting pleasures (a bicycle wheel plowing through rainwater, a woman holding yoga positions, a glider plane performing barrel rolls), filmed when Hutton was a student at the San Francisco Art Institute." — MoMA
"Peter Hutton's film is, to my mind, one of the best of the [diary film] genre — for it truly lets us get inside the filmmaker's mind and sensations through, and in conjunction with, his role as filmmaker. It is almost as if we see how carrying around the camera and focusing on different people, things and events actually changes and refines the filmmaker's normal perception of them. The camera becomes an instrument not to record reality but to expand it. And like any diary, it is both an exploration and crystallization of events and impressions in one's life." — David Bienstock, quoted by Canyon Cinema and San Francisco Cinematheque
