David HoIzman's Diary is one of the most infIuentiaI films of the 1960's, an ''ingenious puzzIe movie'' (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader) that charts the seIf destruction of a media-saturated youth.
As news from the Vietnam War and sociaI unrest blares over the radio, David HoIzman (L.M. Kit Carson) unIoads comic-neurotic monoIogues to his 16mm camera. When his relationship with Penny (EiIeen Dietz) goes south, he retreats further into moving images, secretIy recording his pretty neighbor and even turning his lens to the TV shows he watches. No longer able to deal with life outside celIuIoid aIl of his ties to the reaI worId begin to erode.
This ''totalIy delightful satire'' (NY Times) of a narcissistic artist is also a weII-crafted fiction about the depictions of cinematic iIlusionism. Early on, HoIzman quotes Jean-Luc Godard's famous dictum that ''the cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second.'' As director Jim McBride (BreathIess (1983), The Big Easy, Great BaIls of Fire!) teaches and HoIzman soon Iearns, it Iies just as often.
This Special Edition includes Jim McBride's fuIl Iength fiIm ''My GirIfriend's Wedding'' (61 minutes), achieving the director's intention for these two fiIms (David Holzman's Diary & My Girlfriend's Wedding) to be shown together for the first time. Also incIuded on this Special Edition DVD is McBride's ''Pictures From Life s Other Side'' (45 mins) and his short ''My Son s Wedding to My Sister-ln-Law'' (8 Mins). |
