Nocturne

1990 · 58 min · ★ 4.0 · Drama

Nocturne is a taut chamber drama, set in a musty suburban estate to which a pretty but drab-looking woman returns upon the death of her mother, who in flashback we discover was a fiercely proper and dominating woman. Eichhorn's depressed reveries are abruptly interrupted with the unexpected arrival of a pair of hitchhikers, amoral, free-spirited young lesbian lovers seeking shelter from the rain.

Seven Songs for Malcolm X

MovieDocumentary

The Black Audio Film Collective’s seventh film envisioned the death and life of the African American revolutionary as a seven part study in iconography as narrated by novelist Toni Cade Bambara and actor Giancarlo Espesito. The stylized tableaux vivants that memorialise Malcolm’s life referenced the early 20th century funeral photography of James Van der Zee’s The Harlem Book of the Dead and the elemental static cinematography of Sergei Paradjanov’s The Colour of Pomegranates.
