COMING APART
Rip Torn gives one of his great screen performances as a psychiatrist secretly filming his own mental breakdown in Milton Moses Ginsbergs classic exploration of dark eroticism and self-referential cinematic form. Anticipating the camcorder-driven, diary films of today, the entire film is shot into a mirror from a single camera angle in a one-room apartment. Psychoanalyst Joe Glazer, aka Glassman, rents a studio apartment in a towering, glass-walled skyscraper, away from his office and his pregnant wife, where he has a variety of sexual encounters with a series of women, all of which he films with a hidden camera. Although entirely scripted, this fierce, frank and explicit film seems improvised. Truly ahead of its time, Coming Apart remains a visionary and transformative piece of American cinema.
