Shot in New York at Cecil's home over three days, The Silent Eye plays out as a timeless, elegant conversation between the two men - at once meditative and highly moving. Figurative and sensual, the film's structure is a precise yet loosely orchestrated intermingling of the processes of creative work with moments of abstract reverie. The result blends exterior and interior, observational performance study with private, ephemeral emotional landscape.
The Silent Eye
The Silent Eye is a highly intimate, impressionistic portrait of the unspoken rapport between Cecil Taylor and Min Tanaka - two masters of their form who have collaborated for over thirty years.
