	Review of Jack Chambers's film, "The Hart of London, by Fred Camper
		Jack Chambers's 80-minute The Hart of London (1970) is a sprawling, ambitious film that combines newsreel footage of disasters, urban and nature imagery, and footage evoking the cycles of life and death.
		Chambers told an early writer on the film, Avis Lang (whose article is reprinted in a 1984 issue on Chambers of the Canadian journal, The Capilano Review), that its whole theme of the film is "generation," and that's certainly present here, in the many juxtapositions of life and death and references to disasters.
		Chambers follows this image with an overhead shot of the stone ruins of a very ancient city, another move from apparent ordinariness to ruin, returning to his theme of "generation" while also suggesting that decay is civilization's ultimate end.

		Jack soon began to take an interest in conducting and he used to ring next to the conductor whenever he could so that he could watch the calling 'to see how it was done’ as he put it.
		Jack took part in the convoys to Russia in appalling conditions and he was one of those who received a medal from the Russian Government in recognition of this.

		Jack Chambers (1931 - 1978) was one of Canada's most esteemed artists.

	Jack Chambers
		The paltry critical recognition afforded Jack Chambers' films in the '60s and '70s by Canada's film intelligentsia is typical of the avant-garde's marginalised status during its formative period.
		Jack Chambers' position in the Canadian avant-garde cinema of the 1960s can be assessed by reference to the changing contours of Canadian cultural policy around the time of Expo 67 (held in Montreal).
		Jack Chambers' pioneering involvement with CAR, a national arts service organisation founded on Chambers belief in "fair exchange: payment for services," assured that filmmakers would eventually be compensated for the exhibition and reproduction of their work.

		Handsomely produced and comprehensive in its coverage of Chambers' cinematic oeuvre, The Films of Jack Chambers is a credit to the high standards of Cinematheque Ontario's monograph series and Kathryn Elder's editing.
		Chambers' own thinking is represented by his essay "Perceptual Realism," first published in Artscanada in 1969, and alluded to by several of Elder's contributors.
		Chambers' references to film in "Perceptual Realism" are limited, however, to two ambiguous pronouncements: "Where North American artists do embody an historic dimension [of advanced technology in the arts] is in the medium of personal filmmaking.

		A native of London, Ontario, Jack Chambers was born in 1931.
		Then there is The Hart of London (1968-70), Chambers’ 80-minute fluid filmic palimpsest of memory, desire, and history which explores the interconnectedness of life and death, time and the body, and the history of London, Ontario, through a series of multi-layered images, sounds, and silences.
		What remains compelling about Chambers’ work, something alluded to in many essays in the book, is the creative tension that exists in his attempts to find a mode of representation to identify and affirm a Canadian sense of time.

		Jack Chambers continued to enter his cars in reliability trials over the following years to publicise their strengths with great success.
		Chambers also made almost all of the components in its cars itself, something which was to cause friction with some of its partners down the years.
		In truth, Chambers never recovered from this financial shortfall and, although it became agents for various other manufacturers in the years that followed, its end was a matter of some inevitably, finally coming in 1929 when the company was voluntarily wound-up.

		The sound of pouring water and the white bathed images that flicker by, increasing in speed, at once calm the scene but also neatly crown the feeling of underlying tension and violence, which is later brought to the surface with the footage of the slaughterhouse.
		At the film's very end, children (Jack Chamber's own) approach a hart with food, and their mother whispers warnings; the animal as object, filmed from afar, suffers from a perceptual uncertainty.
		Jack Chambers was born in 1931 and began work on The Hart of London in 1969, having been diagnosed with leukaemia only shortly before.

		Jack Chambers was a renowned realist artist whose notion of perception as a synthetic experience was formally expressed in a distinctive collage style of filmmaking.
		Chambers’ reputation as a film artist is based on the five works he completed between 1966 and 1970: Mosaic (1964—1966), Hybrid (1967), R34 (1967), Circle (1968—1969) and The Hart of London (1968—1970).
		It is perhaps the most complete and profound summation of Chambers' approach to art and perception: a moving evocation of place and the circularity of life and death.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		About midway through, Chambers juxtaposes two aerial shots: the first shows a few swimmers dispersed across a body of water, the image crisp and high contrast; the second, clearly news footage shot from a passing airplane, records a catastrophic flood, homes surrounded by water in lower-contrast gray.
		Next Chambers shows victims of some sort of bombing or mine collapse being led from a hole in the ground, the newsman’s lens treating them not as humans but as just another parade for the viewer’s entertainment.
		Chambers aggressively managed his own medical care and lived until 1978, yet The Hart of London reveals a heightened awareness of human vulnerability in the face of nature—the sequence of Chambers cutting his lawn is followed by an aerial shot of stone ruins.

		Jack Nicholson is a true artist a dedicated craftsman who puts together a role so seamlessly that you do not see where it begins and he ends but as these clips illustrate their are distinctly different personalities being bought to life and the exceptional quality of the work should be acknowledged and respected.

		Jack Nicholson has said that Jessica Lange, as Cora, made him look sexy, but unfortunately this is seldom true in the important scenes in the film.
