Echoes of Silence 1965 Peter Emmanuel Goldmans rarely screened debut, an underappreciated landmark of the New American Cinema, chronicles the lives of twenty somethings adrift in New York City, finding tremendous pathos in the smallest moments a furtive glance across a museum gallery, girls putting on makeup, a stroll beneath the pulsing lights of Times Square marquees Composed with a lo fi purity and bereft of diegetic sound, its shadowy images of youthful flaneurs are paired with evocatively hand painted title cards and a dynamic soundtrack drawn from the artists LPs that, when combined, conjure up a ballad of dependency like none other
