The Rings of Saturn.

Aditi sent me this beautiful video ( click on the word 'waltz' down below.)  Shostakovich brilliantly outfits this winding journey exploring Saturn.  Watching this, a story materialized in my head about an old man, residing in the thick of a jungle, haunted by a desire to visit a planet that he once encountered long ago.  In this quiet fever, he discovers a portal into some strange void when he opens an ordinary closet.  He dreams of a horizon sliced by a perpetual line.  Following this line, he finds himself back where he start

It seems a galaxy dances to a waltz, an obscure trait that Kubrick shared with us mere mortals.
