Criticism and Praise

[edit]
  • "The montage is as relentless as the guitarist's finger-work, the footage as compelling as the music is poignant.", The Barbican (a multi-art organization) on Perpetual Movements[6]
  • "Cartoonishly weird comedy", The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre on The Window (Don Juan Mix)[7]

"the find here is lesser known Portuguese director Pêra's weird and wacky whirlwind of a film; a sharply astute indictment of mainstream cinema and culture." (Arun Sharma about Cinesapiens and 3X3D) [8]

"Cinesapiens, keeps audiences guessing right to the final frame, ending with a surreal and haunting scene experience."[9] Cinesapiens: "pure visual chaos"[10]
