The Hart of London is an endlessly layered tour de force. It explores life and death, the sense of place and personal displacement, and the intricate aesthetics of representation. It is a personal and spiritual film, marked inevitably by Jack Chambers’s knowledge that he had leukemia. The late American avant-garde filmmaker Stan Brakhage said of The Hart of London, “If I named the five greatest films ever made, this has got to be one of them.” Even this high praise falls short of hyperbole.
