Summary:
We can't go home again: a complete restoration of legendary director Nicholas Ray's 1973 experimental masterpiece, made with his college students in upstate New York. It embodies Ray's approach to filmmaking as a communal way of life. The film records Ray's groundbreaking use of multiple image as a way of telling more than one story simultaneously, and of colorization as a way to heighten emotional expression. He called it a 'journalistic' film, one that shares the anthropologists' aim of recording the "history, progress, manners, morals, and mores of everyday life," at a critical moment in American history. Ray plays himself in the film, serving as mentor, friend, and reference point around whom the students' stories constellate. Don't expect too much: A documentary on the life and works of Nicholas Ray.
