The Crack-Up

2017 • 0h 18m • Documentary

One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise.

Schwartz’s poetic 16mm work meditates on the sights and sounds of slowly crumbling glaciers, charting an interior dance between desperation and hope. The carefully deployed superimpositions, strident soundtrack, and contrasting tones of intensity and tranquility suggest the unpredictable rhythms of metaphysical transformation.
