Perfect Partner


I would love to see this collaborative film Perfect Partner, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available. Hopefully I'll stumble on a screening of it or perhaps DVD?

PERFECT PARTNER: A film by Kim Gordon, Tony Oursler and Phil Morrison starring Michael Pitt and Jamie Bochert, with a live soundtrack performed by Kim Gordon, Jim O’Rourke, Ikue Mori, Tim Barnes and DJ Olive.

"Gordon and Oursler’s shared fascination with the dream lifestyle promised by car manufacturers, and the aspirational language of car advert copy (selling cars as our ‘perfect partner’), provided the inspiration for this hugely inventive project...The resulting film tells a story of a young man in search of his mother. On his travels he falls in love with a woman who agrees to help him. Together they take a test drive which becomes a road trip and develops into a faux-Godardian adventure. Based around a dialogue mixed with car advertising copy, the lo-fi aesthetics of the film provide a setting to the music and action on stage, back projected onto a large screen. The film stars Michael Pitt [Rhinocerous Eyes, Last Days, The Dreamers]."
