Geoffrey Garrison’s “The Cut”
Posted September 25, 2006 by John Menick
Artist, writer, musician, and multitasker Geoffrey Garrison recently posted his short HD film to Google video:
The Cut is a short video based on the history of the John Huston film Freud the Secret Passion (1961) about the life of Sigmund Freud. It is a non-linear impression of the history and not a documentary or exact reenactment. The film presents several fragments in which Huston argues with the main actor Montgomery Clift during the filming of Freud; Clift discusses his insomnia problems with Marilyn Monroe during the filming of the Misfits; Huston is interrogated by the FBI during the investigation of Hollywood communists; and Huston discusses the censorship of the film over Freud with a Catholic priest and with a producer. The Cut was written and directed by Geoffrey Garrison with support from the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
