Kick That Habit is a 1989 film by Peter Liechti an audio visual portrait of his native country eastern Switzerland. The film collects samples from the land-and soundscape underscoring in the process the oft-ignored industrial underpinning of our latter day culture. Kick That Habit is a short tense film comprised of flashing images: footage of Voice Crack reharsals and concerts is juxtaposed with visual shards of the autumn and winter landscape of the area between Alpstein and the Bodensee. Utilising colour and black and white footage as well as combining the visual and the acoustic in an expression that subtly synthesizes the two Liechti delineates a world of existence through sound and geography. Like the world the rest of us live in it's a world of beauty quiet tragedy and the endless march forward.
