Film Screening: _MURDER and Murder_
February 20—MURDER and murder (Yvonne Rainer, U.S., 1996)
This hybrid film enfolds documentary data into a fictional framework, resulting in a work of emotional power and intellectual rigor. This story of two middle-aged lesbians facing the effects of breast cancer also manages to interrogate the neglect of lesbians by the health care profession, the split between gay identity and "queer theory," and the conditions of filmic representation.
