Abstract
“Men & Lines” voyeuristically spies on several linemen. Choppily shot from the muddled perspective of jumbled branches, the workers tend to the telephone line primarily from their respective cherry pickers. This sequence plays for nearly two thirds of the runtime, until the camera's action yields to a patient pan communicating the workers' proximity. Abruptly the film shifts to black and white, and this latter portion monochromatically plays out in pans between workers at work.
