[artinfo] Day Night Day Night

[Acconci Studio]

There's a movie in New York now that has to be seen: Julia Loktev's 
DAY NIGHT DAY NIGHT.  Julia's a close friend of mine, but that's not 
why I'm recommending her movie; I'm recommending -- more than that, 
urging -- it simply because I can't get the movie out of my head.  
Think of Battle Of Algiers seen and heard by Bresson; think of 
walking down a New York City street next to nothing but a face; think 
of time as the ticking of a clock mixed with the ticking of a 
time-bomb.  But, when you see this movie, you'll think of only its 
world and its protagonist.  At a time when so-called 'independent 
film' has been reduced to domestic dramas meant for resolution and 
redemption, this movie brings independent film back to hard cold 
facts; it leaves spectators on their own in the swarming solitude of 
a movie theater. I hope you will see it.
