Kramer’s Ice blurred the line between revolutionary role-play and actual revolutionary action
Evidence
Like The Edge, perhaps even more, Ice verged on collective psychodrama. Are these angst-ridden revolutionaries role-playing? And are these amateur actors role-playing at playing a role in the moment? Beginning with a sequence in which a courier goes about her various missions in midtown Manhattan in the guise of a proper young lady, Kramer’s urban guerrillas seem to have cast themselves in The Battle of Algiers. Her purposeful character might be planting bombs. — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 1658
