    Description

    Reception

    This film was an "international film festival favorite" as advertised in Black Matter. It was featured in a London Film Festival review as, "the best new film" at the festival. One reviewer regards the film as “playing outside the maps of 70s theory” with an ability to link “raw fragments of human existence with the most severe or expansive kinds of experiments with form.”
