Coming Apart is a 1969 American film directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg starring Rip Torn.
Coming Apart strongly reminds of another zeitgeist-reflecting film concerned with male angst and the war of the sexes: La Maman et la Putain. Three years before Jean Eustache's masterpiece/oddity, Ginsberg already has a very 'literary' approach to capture 'the real' and proposes duration (long takes, static camera) to cinematically fetishize reality.
One of the most memorable scenes where a young pregnant mother visits the protagonist psychiatrist ("it's worth a million dollars to me") reminds of It is not four years ago, a poem by John Suckling.
