Underground filmmaker, assemblage artist Joseph Cornel spends a day hanging around Bryant Park filming some of his favorite things, fountains and young girls in what starts out a fiction but evolves into aimless doc.
Perhaps influencing Roeg's Don't Look Now, a little girl runs along the side wall of the NY Public Library masked by an umbrella. She then checks out some trees that Cornell more or less gets himself literally and figuratively lost in for most of this self indulgent, poorly photographed stumble through the park.
Nymphlight is not without its mystery though. With a listed running time of 7 and 1/2 minutes it runs over 9. What's present that shouldn't be? It would not be difficult to find more than a few culprits that might be excised.
