Keep in Touch

About This Movie

Keep in Touch is a fascinating dive into solitude and communication, where Rousseau’s isolation is palpable. The film unfolds like a dream, with its stark visuals and haunting soundscape, giving weight to the messages that echo through his empty space. The juxtaposition of a simple lamp and writing pad against the fluid movements of nocturnal ice dancers creates a haunting atmosphere that lingers. It’s not the kind of narrative that rushes; instead, it breathes, inviting you to ponder the weight of unspoken words and memories. There’s a distinct vibe here, a kind of meditative quality that’s hard to shake off—a real gem for those who appreciate the nuances of experimental cinema.

Keep in Touch is a bit of an enigma in the collector's realm. Released in '87, it hasn’t seen a wide release, making its home media formats limited and sought after. The film's obscure nature and unconventional storytelling style have garnered a niche following among collectors who appreciate its atmospheric qualities. Original prints and any special screenings can be hard to come by, which adds to its allure for those in the know.
