Step Across the Border | Year: 1990 Directed: - Werner Penzel - Nicolas Humbert For Frith Fans -- Or Not Frith has always been such a musical chameleon -- fitting into such diverse groups as Henry Cow, Skeleton Crew, Massacre, Looping Home Orchestra and his own Guitar Quartet, to name just a few -- that it's been hard to get a bead on exactly who he is. This film goes a long way toward introducing him to his fans. It's also likely to make him many new fans, as his quiet genius is evident. Humbert & Penzel's camera work tends to improvise and experiment almost as much as Frith's guitar & violin, with unattached scenes, odd transitions, rough edits and of course the gorgeous, very noir black & white. It's arty without becoming too pretentious, and has some really lovely moments when Fred's onscreen. I just wish it was in stereo, and about twice as long. You'll want to play the SATB CD right afterwards. Where are the Frith Fans? I don't know why anyone hasn't commented on this DVD. The soundtrack to this movie is one of my favorites. The movie is basically a bunch of avant-garde music videos. It's been some time since I saw it, but I can't wait to watch the additional footage.
