"Broadway by Light" never seeks to settle into one particular pattern; there are recognizable groupings of various signages, but there isn't a true sense of progression until the short's ending as dawn appears. But what is most striking is just how looming these ostensibly commercial products appear, towering over the other objects in the frame, especially the men that infrequently appear as almost automatons at work. Aside from some astonishingly flurries of signage rushing at the screen, Klein's editing is mostly static, but nevertheless "Broadway by Light" is a strange, defiant experience.
