The Arc

Year: 1991

Director: Rob Tregenza

Drama

Tregenza’s second feature is a highly metaphorical road movie following an isolated protagonist (Jason Adams) who leaves his job as an arc welder in Baltimore and journeys westward toward a spiritual apotheosis. The film’s formal treatment shifts from rapid montage in the opening to conventional editing and extended takes, with ellipses between sequences that are as provocative as the scenes themselves, showcasing Tregenza’s masterful cinematography.
