The Art of Worldly Wisdom

Composition from journals kept 1976-78. Moving snapshots taken during travels abroad and while at work back home, random glimpses of sites seen and persons visited, fragments of afternoon reveries and night dream visions with garrulous, non-stop description of education – in family, at school, while ill – trying to make sense of it all.’A compelling and revealing exploration of one person’s psyche in crisis…. The film is a screen diary of a man in his early 30s afflicted with a life-threatening disease, a man confronting his own mortality.’ – Linda Gross, Los Angeles Times.’A tour de force of psychoanalytical autobiography. Shot with a series of multiple images, the three formative influences, Nature, Civilization, Self, compete for the viewers attention… an eminently ‘watchable’ film.’ – Michael Quigley, Hamilton Spectator.'(The Art of Worldly Wisdom) is being touted as the key new experimental work shown in Los Angeles so far this year.’ – Los Angeles Free Press.
