The Clock

2010 · TMDB 8.6

Directed by Christian Marclay

A 24-hour compendium of time-themed film clips, all synched to the time that appears on the clocks and watches within.

Why it matters

Christian Marclay's 24-hour montage assembles thousands of film clips in which clocks and watches appear, synchronised to the real time of the screening. It is a long take made of other long takes, and a collective memory of cinema as timekeeping.
