"
Personally, I find this film a masterpiece. A total masterpiece. I can't explain it…
Suddenly, it's mankind, the whole earth that speaks – the earth in the ancient
sense of mother. But it is not even the earth that speaks, it is the humus…
It's incredible: everything is there.

The Philosophical Research Society's 7th House Screenings is proud to present a rare screening of Philippe Garrel's mythic, long difficult to see surrealist masterpiece 
THE INNER SCAR 
(
La cicatrice intérieure, 
1972), its first LA screening in nearly a decade. Starring legendary doom folk icon Nico (Garrel’s decade-long partner and muse) and featuring songs from her classic album 
Desertshore
 (its cover photo is a still from the film), Garrel casts a dreamlike spell in what is a wholly singular cinematic trip – one that, in its sheer visual mysticism, sits beside the likes of 
The Holy Mountain 
and 
The Color of Pomegranates
.
Pierre Clementi and Garrel himself co-star alongside the striking one-time Velvet Underground chanteuse and her young son Ari – their mysterious figures traversing (in often seemingly impossible tracking shots) the barren, otherworldly landscapes filmed in Death Valley, the Sinai Desert, and Iceland. Enigmatic, alluring, and existential, Garrell described the film as a record of what was going through his mind at the time and advised “one mustn’t ask yourself questions while watching…it should be watched for pleasure, as one can take pleasure from walking in the desert."
An ethereal and hypnotic marvel of acid drip slow cinema that demands to be seen on the big screen!
Dir. Philippe Garrel, 1972, 60mins, France, French & German w/ English Subtitles, Unrated (ADULT AUDIENCES ONLY), Digital.
Special thanks to Philippe Garrel, 
Pip Chodorov and Diana Vidrascu of RE:VOIR, and 
Bernardo Rondeau.
