Visions of Violence - Trailer 2
Inspired by 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' is at once a fascinating time capsule of life in the 1990's as well as a video diary. 'Visions of Violence' puts the pieces of a diary together, which includes different video formats, Super 8 film, audio conversations, and still photos. In a non-traditional, experimental way, the vignettes unfold: hanging out with friends, vandalism, working, getting arrested, a riot, girls, and much more. At times it appears we're getting too close to the filmmaker's soul. And we are 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.
