“One of the 100 most important films in movie history.”
—Cahiers du Cinéma
“A kind of Dadaist symphony of sound and image. Enormously imaginative.”
—The New York Times
“The closest anyone’s come to bringing a free-associating jazz sensibility to filmmaking.”
—New York Newsday
A 90‑minute improvisation on life, music, and image featuring Fred Frith, John Zorn, Arto Lindsay, the band After Dinner, Iva Bittová, Larry Wright, Jonas Mekas, and Robert Frank captured in streets, hotel rooms, transit systems, and on stages from New York to Tokyo and everywhere in between. A music doc? Think again. This avant-garde experience from Nicolas Humbert and Werner Penzel is a “documentary” in name only. New 4K restoration.
