An Evening with Saul Levine
Monday, May 6, 2013, 7:00 p.m at the Museum of Modern Art,NYC
For nearly 50 years, Saul Levine (American, b. 1943) has made experimental films that are distinguished by their machine-gun rhythms, political urgencies, and moments of cloistered, even blissful, family settings.
Levine’s is a cinema of violent juxtaposition—Charlie Chaplin hotly pursued and Walter Cronkite intoning the grim news of the day; Vietnam War paratroopers and B.B. King playing the blues; street protests, police roundups, and workers on the dole.
