Image in the Snow (1952)

Filmed in Brooklyn, Image in the Snow is an early underground “trance film” in which “a young man led by despair searches a city for salvation” (director Willard Maas’ own description). He takes the Myrtle Avenue el. and finds his “ideal parents” represented as carved stone figures on a tomb in the old part of Mt. Olivet Cemetary. Although not as highly regarded as Geography of the Body or as ostentatious as Narcissus in its own time, Image in the Snow has become the most frequently revived of Willard Maas’ thematic, non-documentary films.

Director: Willard Maas.
Stars: Hunter Jones, Marie Menken, Ellen McCool, Jerry Valentine, Leonardo Gordon, Ben Moore (narrator).
