''Coming Apart'' is a 1969 film written and directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg, and starring Rip Torn and Sally Kirkland. Torn plays a mentally disturbed psychologist who secretly films his sexual encounters with women. Ginsberg filmed the entire movie with one static camera setup, in a manner simulating a non-constructed "fake documentary" style, influenced by Jim McBride's ''David Holzman's Diary''.〔Horwath, Alexander.

''Life'' reviewer Richard Schickel praised Torn's performance, Ginsberg's inventive use of camera and sound, and the "illuminating" portrayal of a schizophrenic breakdown.〔Schickel, Richard.

The film has since attained a cult following among critics and filmmakers.〔Smith, Dinitia. "After 'Coming Apart,' a Life Did Just That (1978).
