Visions of Violence - French - International - Trailer
David Holzman's Diary (1967), Medium Cool (1969) and the gritty gang films of the late 1970's (The Warriors, The Wanderers, Over the Edge, Boulevard Nights, Walk Proud).
'Visions of Violence' was inspired by these films and is a fascinating time capsule of life in the 1990's. It's an audio/visual diary which includes four different video formats, Super 8 film, audio conversations, and still photos in a non-traditional, experimental way. We're seeing reality from a whole new perspective: a marriage between documentary reality and theatrical fiction.
And like Medium Cool (1969), this movie is intensely American in its imagery and ambition.
