Robert and June (and All the Time in the World)

Synopsis

Scenes from the life of a quiet man and a smart woman. They carry the celebrated surnames Frank and Leaf, both of which were crucial to the 20th century North American art scene, but here they are just Robert and June. Jem Cohen’s camera brims with tenderness for his beloved friends in their late years, searching for their presence in the calming topography of Mabou, Nova Scotia, or the urban decay of New York’s Bleecker Street. Drifting, mutating textures and formats, breathing along with changing landscapes. An exercise in spending time with the world. (Viennale)
