Yvonne Rainer Retrospective: Kristina Talking Pictures

Yvonne Rainer Retrospective: Kristina Talking Pictures

Presented by Lark Theater at Lark Theater

Showtime:
Tue, 3/14, TBA

Join us every Tuesday for the next 7 weeks for a Marin County exclusive theatrical retrospective of one of Avant-Gard's most influential and boundary-pushing woman filmmakers of our time.


"What Rainer was up to, after all, was the reinvention of melodrama as a genre, accented for the contemporary psyche.” —B. Ruby Rich

Namechecking both Virginia Woolf and Jean-Luc Godard in the film’s opening segment, Rainer continues to experiment in her elegiac, hybrid third feature with unshackling narrative from conventional representation, using the paradoxical feminine figure of a lion tamer, Kristina (played by several women, including Rainer herself), and a disjunctive audiovisual syntax that pushes avant-garde film grammar into thrillingly novel, expressive realms.

Kristina arrives from Budapest to 1970s New York City, harboring hopes of becoming a dance choreographer, as well as romantic affections for an elusive sailor named Raoul. (Synopsis courtesy of The Metrograph)
