ProductionStan Brakhage felt that Window Water Baby Moving had insufficiently captured his emotions at the birth of his child, and intended Thigh Line Lyre Triangular as an improvement.
Like many Brakhage works, Thigh Line Lyre Triangular is a silent film.[2] Unlike Window Water Baby Moving, it was photographed in a hospital.[2] The camera films Jane Brakhage's face and vulva from a low-angle shot near her feet.[5] A layer of paint and deliberate scratches on the surface of the film render the birth itself almost unintelligible.[6] Brakhage himself does not appear in the film, as he intended to "[centre] the occasion in my own eyes."[1] ReceptionThigh Line Lyre Triangular is often contrasted against Brakhage's previous "birth film," Window Water Baby Moving. William R. Barr wrote that Thigh Line Lyre Triangular lacked the "urgency and intensity" of the earlier film,[2] nevertheless describing it as "a layered, integrated affirmation of all creativity."[2] Steven Dillon wrote that the film “attains the complexity of a lyrical poem by balancing subjective, painterly vision with emancipator, documentary effect.”[7] R. Bruce Elder notes "the irony that [Brakhage], who had so vigorously rejected symbolism, resorted to using symbolism in Thigh Line Lyre Triangular.”[1] James Peterson likened the film to the 1930s and 1940s art of Surrealist painter Joan Miró.[3]References1. ^1 2 Elder, R.
