Set in 1960’s swinging London, Separation, starring Jane Arden, portrays the inner turmoil of a woman’s breakdown both marital and mental. Her past and possible future are revealed through a brilliant, fragmented, and often humorous narrative. David Muir’s superb cinematography in monochrome is interspersed with Mark Boyle’s liquid light color projections.
Original music by Procol Harum, Matthew Fisher and Stanley Myers.

"Astonishingly distressing and perceptive..."
| 2009-11-18
By John Krish
Jane Arden’s performance is incomparable, mesmerizing and deeply disturbing, but for me, what Separation reveals is the extraordinary freedom that film gives to a creative revolutionary, for that is how I see Jack Bond.

By Vincent Canby
Separation is stunningly photographed and stylishly splintered in time between past and present, between fantasy and reality. There are intimations of Bergman's Persona with that film's ambiguity of personality, with striking use of bizarre symbols, gnarled and beautiful faces, and white on white photographic tones. Also reminiscent of A Man and a Woman, there are free and often very lovely juxtapositions of full color scenes with monochromatic ones. In addition to Jane Arden, the cast includes David de Keyser as her husband (sometimes as her fantasy psychiatrist) and Ian Quarrier as her lover. When the heroine and her husband lunch in an Italian restaurant, the conversation is edgy and funny and sad in the way conversation between two former lovers so often is. They argue about the respective roles in any male-female relationship. The man, he suggests, must remain 'self-contained'. Or rather, she comments ruefully, 'semi-detatched'. Procul Harum and Stanley Myers wrote the attractive mod-rock score.
