In this film, Anderson walks down Yonge Street from Bloor Street to the waterfront, recording the shifting intensities of the cityscape. “It’s as if you had flowed down Yonge Street along with the pollution of life and in the terror of the tunnel met death, and finally felt your body emptied with the rest of the waste into the lake. As the camera peacefully scans the water there is a feeling that everything is being cleansed…” – Rick Hancox, Cinema Canada
