The silent WARM SPOTS responds not only to the color temperature of its images, but also to the significance of the places and people portrayed. The "p" from "spots" in the printed title is remarked with a felt tip pen, and it could be the beginning of an unwritten poem, a play or a prayer. Images of emotional warmth for the filmmaker unfold through the view from a window, a boisterous sky, a redden nightfall, and the image of his son. As with IN A YEAR WITH 13 DEATHS, Schwartz finishes this film with an open ending, and no year or signature imprints a final word in it.
