A Bronx morning is a portrait of a place and time, simultaneously a documentary, an avant-garde experiment, and an amateur film--although its compositional beauty and complex editing disguise that it is a 21-year old's first attempt at moviemaking. Architectural abstractions are only part of Leyda's portrait. The film soon naturalizes its abstractions into a vibrant vision of children's games and adult commerce on the summer streets of the Bronx, the New York borough northeast of Manhattan. by Jay Leyda.
