ICE

ICE, 1970
USA | 35mm, Black-White, 130’ | English
Director: Robert Kramer
Cast: Leo Braudy, Tom Griffin, Robert Kramer, Paul Melsaac

Directed by Robert Kramer, Ice is a film that shows us an anti-utopian world while treading the boundary between fiction and documentary. In a tale about a late 1960s fascist regime in the United States and the radicals who oppose it, Ice employs a documentary style to tell the story of a revolution in New York that never really took place. It is a singular film that compares favorably with Jean-Luc Godard’s Alphaville.
