Mary Jordan's documentary Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis is part unsparing explication of a life story, part love-stuck personification of Smith's working philosophy.
November 30, 2007 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
If modern art-lovers want to understand what the Jack Smith experience was like, Jordan's documentary may be their best chance.
April 14, 2007 | Rating: B+ -
Jordan's film is a glorious visual achievement in its own right, as well as part of the rancorous ongoing dispute over Smith's legacy.

This invaluable record contains a treasure trove of clips from Smith's hard-to-see and still striking films, plus comments that were culled from hours of interviews with this flamboyant pioneer.
April 13, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 -
There is invaluable material here, but also a lack of context for the wonderfully outre footage.
April 12, 2007 | Rating: 2/4 -
An intriguing, and profoundly frustrating, view of the New York underground hero.
