A lyrical, impressionistic portrait of Manhattan, partly shot in Kinemacolor, a process that was used in 1915 to obtain colours from black-and-white stock by filming and projecting through synchronised red and green filters. Buildings, parks, sign boards and shop windows dotting the landscape, captured with a roving hand-held camera, dip into and out of abstraction, pulsating with chromatic energy and embodying the whirling sensation of being in a city of colours.
