Lost Book Found
Originally released: 1996
Philosophical detective story? Portrait of New York? Chronicle of obsession? Lost Book Found is all these, and something else for which we don't yet have a name. A sidewalk pushcart vendor becomes haunted by a cryptic book of lists - phrases, places, names, numbers - which tantalisingly seems to find systems in the city's chaos. In the same way, Cohen's hallucinatory short film (6 years in the making) resonates long after it's over. His sideways gaze at fleeting moments - plastic bags in the wind (years before American Beauty), lost objects glittering in the gutter, people passing one another on the pavement - will change the way you see the world. http://www.thecontext.com/docs/2690.html
