MURDER and murder, dir. Yvonne Rainer, USA 1996, 113 min., English
Rainer’s last feature is also one of her most personal, inspired by the lows and highs of a breast cancer diagnosis in the early 1990s, and the surprise of a burgeoning lesbian relationship. The latter is playfully refracted here through the love story of two women from very different backgrounds: Yvonne’s sixty-something screen counterpart Doris (Joanna Merlin) and the younger academic she’s soon to move in with, Mildred (Kathleen Chalfant).
A comic romance whose emotions are amplified by Rainer’s structural tomfoolery and signature intellectual rigour – with the director providing running commentary and appearing intermittently to address the camera – MURDER and murder probes the pleasures, and attendant questions, of late-in-life love affairs.
This is the UK Premiere of the 4K restoration of the work.
