Still Point
‘Still Point’ serves as Barbara Hammer’s definitive reassessment of 70’s cultural feminism. She literally places side-by-side the romantic image of her companion walking and stretching under the sun in a landscape and the gritty realism of a methodical garbage picker on the street of New York city, pushing a shopping cart and moving on to the next waste container. Our world view must encompass both realities, the film indicates. Privilege can’t obscure vision.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its argument through the stark juxtaposition of two realities: sun-drenched, romantic physicality and the gritty, systematic labor of urban survival. It explores the tensions within cultural feminism by relying on this visual dialectic to challenge the viewer's frame of reference.
What lingers after the final cut is a heightened awareness of the realities we are conditioned to overlook. — MovieFinder Editorial
