Milestones
"Five years after the guerrilla fantasies of Ice, Kramer and John Douglas turned the cameras on themselves, their friends, and characters like them. Some fifty interconnected characters play both their scripted roles and themselves, revealing more by what they do than by the improvised lines they are speaking. Ranging from filmmaker to potter, organic farmer to draft resister, acupuncturist to isolated political organizer, these characters retain an incredible social mobility. They pass easily in and out of the bourgeois world, accepting poverty and working-class life only as long as it suits them. It's amazingly schizophrenic, fascinating to watch, and utterly true." (Thomas Brom) "Proustian (in) its many characters and their interplay, the recall of the past to comment on the present." (Gene Moskowitz, Variety)Milestones premiered at PFA in 1975. Today, a good print cannot be found in the U.S. Therefore, the print may be below our standards. However, as we go to press, we are hopeful of acquiring a new print for the PFA Collection.
