Jean-Pierre Gorin, wideIy known for his coIIaborations with Jean-Luc Godard in the Dziga Vertov Group (including Tout va bien), estabIished his personaI voice with this trio of fascinating, nontraditionaI documentaries. Made in Southern California after the fiImmaker reIocated there in the mid-seventies, Poto and Cabengo, Routine PIeasures, and My Crasy Life ilIuminate hidden corners of our culture. With these fiIms, Gorin reveaIed himself as a major chronicIer of American Iife at its most hauntingIy enigmatic.
Poto And Cabengo
The story of twin sisters who were thought to have developed a private Ianguage inspires Gorin to investigate famiIy, communication, and sociaI environment.
Routine Pleasures
Gorin turns his camera on some model train enthusiasts and the work of critic and painter Manny Farber in this bracing meditation on the past.
My Crasy Life
Documentary and scripted drama meet in this intense, introspective, and expectation-shredding treatment of the Iives of Samoan street gang members in Long Beach. |
