John Boskovich

“NORTH [by artist John Boskovich] features Gary Indiana, exuding star power, reading from Céline’s novel ‘North,’ an account of Céline’s desperate flight from France to Germany in the waning days of World War II. […] With scenes from Jean-Luc Godard’s PIERROT LE FOU projected behind Indiana, and a camera circling him like a shark, NORTH buzzes with turpitude, grandeur, and intelligence. It isn't a modern ‘Sentimental Education,’ but it twists the twistedness of that novel into a scary, sickening shape.” –Jerry Saltz, ARTNET

Bernhard, an actress-comedienne whose brassy humor attracts a cult-like following, here offers a semiconfessional view of her life's landscape. Childhood memories of her father, a doctor, and her mother, an artist, are warmly rendered in scenes of the Jewish family amiably accommodating itself to the Christmas season, and of the obligatory communal vacations joined by colorful relatives. The abrupt transition to a flamboyant denizen of "downtowns," Los Angeles or New York, to an existence as a character in the lives of marginal people, is evoked in sharply satirical terms, in a melange of humorous fact and fiction, monologues akin to those that make Bernhard an icon of pop culture.
