Robert Frank's film One Hour is a single-take of Frank and actor
Kevin O'Connor either walking or riding in the back of a mini-van
through a few blocks of Manhattan's Lower East side. Shot between
3:45 and 4:45 pm on 26 July, 1990 the film presents the curious
experience of eavesdropping involuntarily on strangers. It appears
to be a document of a journey but is also a kind of stream of
consciousness retracing the same patterns and spaces. This book is
a reprint of a little-known Frank publication first issued by
Hanuman Books in 1992, a tiny book, comprising mainly a
transcription of the dialogue heard but also two pages of credits:
half a dozen production or crew workers and 27 actors. Unravelling
the apparent documentary nature of the film, there is also an
acknowledgement that the film has a script (by Frank and his
assistant, Michal Rovner), that a conversation heard in a diner is
written by Mika Moses, and that Peter Orlovsky's lines (intercepted
by Frank roughly halfway through the hour, in front of the Angelika
Cinema on Houston Street) are "total improvisation." The film C'est
Vrai (One Hour) will be published as a DVD as part of Steidl's
Robert Frank The Complete Film Works, the first volume of which is
published this season.
