Moving Pictures (1994)
The eye must learn to listen before it looks.
"Today memory creeps along the wall at Seven Bleecker. In the back of my eyes, longings and obsessions, Outside someone is yelling Robert! I love New York…." Robert Frank looks back on a lifetime of memory-gathering through photographs, home movies (his parents' gravesite, June Leaf making art), portraits of artist friends (Raoul Hague, Allen Ginsberg), and portraits of those he admired (Jean-Luc Godard). The film resembles one of Gregory Corso's "shuffle poems," as Frank muses, "Together go words and images without sound. I have an obsession in my life for Fragments which reveal and hide truth." — Museum of Modern Art
