Separation concerns the inner life of a woman during a period of breakdown - marital and possibly mental. Her past and (possible?) future are revealed through a fragmented but brilliantly achieved and often humorous narrative in which dreams and desires are as real as the 'swinging' London (complete with Procul Harum music and Mark Boyle light show) of the film's setting.
Anti-Clock, Jane Arden and Jack Bond's last collaborative work, mixes pioneering video techniques with pin-sharp colour footage in order to create a densely woven, dream-like narrative which explores issues of personal identity and social conformity. Based on Jane Arden's extraordinary writings on the limitations of rational thought, this groundbreaking films has remained unseen since its last public screening in 1983 and is presented here in a new transfer from the original 16mm negative, along with a selection of never-before-seen special features.
Arden's violent and powerful adaptation of her work with The Holocaust women's theatre troupe looks into the mind of a woman labelled schizophrenic - and finds not madness but tortured sexual guilt created by the taboos of society
A complex and fascinating avantgarde examination of time and personality. A film of authentic startling originality brilliantly mixing cinema and video techniques Arden and Bond have created a movie that captures the anxiety and sense of danger that has infiltrated the consciousness of so many people in western society.
