Vivian
"A film portrait cut to the tune of Conway Twitty's version of 'Mona Lisa.' Filmed in part at a 1964 show of Conner's artwork in San Francisco, the film is also a witty statement about forces that take the life out of art. Vivian Kurz, the subject of the film, is entombed in a glass display case." - Judd Chesler Award: Gold Medal Award, Sesta Biennale D'Arte Republica Di San Marino. Da Vinci thought he caught her smiling.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its statement around a potent visual paradox, exploring the boundaries between art and life by placing a living subject in a display case. It relies on static composition and ironic musical counterpoint to create a tense dialogue.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of quiet unease and a question about the nature of observation itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Bruce Conner

Watch in silence, as a meditation, contemplating each frame thoughtfully.
