The main protagonist dies after 20 minutes. For the majority of that part it is filmed from his Point Of View. After he dies, the rest of the film is shot from his perspective once again. If I remember correctly, it is one single, fluid shot. Almost always looking down from above the ceiling. This gives a feeling of suspension and unease. It also means that things can be upside down or sideways.

'all my life' 1966 Bruce Baillie
'Necrology' 197something Standish Lawder
This is a very clever and very simple film which is a metaphor for birth, life and death like 'All my life' but packed into an even shorter timeframe. The film is very simple footage of people on an escalator in the New York Subway (or London?) but the film is reversed so that they are all facing the camera or down while they all ascend. This gives the effect that the people of the bottom are in the front always and the people at the top are mostly shrouded before they disappear off the top of the screen altogether.
