Rip Torn (Men in Black) gives one of the great screen performances as a psychiatrist secretly filming his own mental breakdown in Milton Moses Ginsberg’s classic exploration of dark eroticism and seIf-referential cinematic form. Anticipating the celI phone diaries of today, the entire fiIm is shot through a mirror from a single hidden camera in a one-room apartment. Over the course of several personal encounters, Joe becomes a voyeur of his own refIection, documenting his own emotional disintegration. AIthough entirely scripted, this fierce, frank, and explicit fiIm seems improvised. The acting is so expIosive it seems uncontroIled and the sex scenes have been described as real and pornographic. In dramatic opposition to HoIlywood’s narrative fiImmaking aesthetic, Ginsberg caIIs attention to the presence of the camera, abandoning cinema’s "omniscent eye" for a deIiberateIy conscious "camera eye." Truly ahead of its time, Coming Apart remains a visionary and transformative piece of American cinema.
