Tal Farlow (1958): cast, story & where to watch
1958 · Film · ★ 6.8
Released in 1958, Tal Farlow is a notable film directed by Len Lye.
What it’s about. Lye created a series of scratched images in the 1950s – more regular or geometric than his usual style – to accompany Rock ‘n’ Rye, a track by jazz guitarist Tal Farlow, but he did not get far with the editing. He returned to the material in 1980 but died before it was completed. His assistant Steven Jones finished the film under the supervision of Lye’s widow Ann, who had been closely involved with all of Lye’s American films. - Harvard Film Archive
