"In his new film ALONE. LIFE WASTES ANDY HARDY which, together with PIECE TOUCHÉE and PASSAGE A L'ACTE, forms a sort of trilogy of compulsive repetition, Arnold's campaign of deconstruction of classic Hollywood film codes finally turns to film music. The process links in with the other two films. The family scenes, which in the original last only seconds and are not particularly notable, are surgically sectioned into single frames. Using repetition of these 'single cells' and a new rhythm - a kind of cloning procedure - Arnold then creates an inflated, monstrous doppelg?nger of the original cuts lasting many minutes. The hidden message of sex and violence is turned inside out to the point where it simply crackles." - Dirk Schaefer
