All the Vermeers in New York

All the Vermeers in New York is a 1990 American film written, directed and produced by Jon Jost.

Created as a tribute to Josts father, the film was also created with his love of Vermeer paintings in mind. This is one of his first films produced in 35mm. Vincent Canby wrote in The New York Times the films purpose was to show art as the last bit of humanism in a world without love. Marjorie Baumgarten, a writer for Austin Chronicle, called All the Vermeers in New York an experimental film. Emanuel Levy wrote in Cinema of Outsiders that the film is a mix of narrative and experimental cinema.At the Berlin International Film Festival in 1991, the film won the Caligari Film Award. Roger Ebert reviewed the film, saying When All the Vermeers in New York was over, I stayed for a moment in my seat because I didnt feel as if the film had ended. It got me involved, it got me intrigued, and my interior clock estimated that it would take anotherminutes to conclude. And then it stopped. Ty Burr of Entertainment Weekly said that Josts influences may be foreignfilm gods like Godard and Ozu, but he doesnt share their contemplative humanity, and whats left smells like arthouse posturing. ........
