“NORTH [by artist John Boskovich] features Gary Indiana, exuding star power, reading from Céline’s novel ‘North,’ an account of Céline’s desperate flight from France to Germany in the waning days of World War II. […] With scenes from Jean-Luc Godard’s PIERROT LE FOU projected behind Indiana, and a camera circling him like a shark, NORTH buzzes with turpitude, grandeur, and intelligence. It isn't a modern ‘Sentimental Education,’ but it twists the twistedness of that novel into a scary, sickening shape.” –Jerry Saltz, ARTNET
