Sesión 8: The Balcony

Cinema for Strick was something made of fusions: an impure while total art rooted strongly in - the respect for - other pictorial, audio and narrative arts (theater: The Balcony; literature: Ulysses, 1967; Tropic of Cancer, 1970; A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man, 1979…); it also seems worth mentioning that Strick collaborated closely with wildlife film auteur Jack Couffer, the James Algar for the age of Easy Rider (1969; Dennis Hopper), for this is, again, a cinema in-between that by then had fallen completely out of favor with the hip and smart among the critical set.
