Synopsis

American avant-garde master Ernie Gehr’s stunning Waterfront Follies (USA) is a work of sublime extended landscape that presents a view of the Brooklyn harbour as it is continuously interrupted by the flow of human interaction. The film’s structure and soundtrack work as a reminder of the constant intersections between life’s impulsiveness and beauty. —tiff.net
