DARLING INTERNATIONAL
1999, 16mm, 22 minutes
Co-director M.M. Serra
A dark and sensual experimental narrative that explores a skilled technical worker's fantasies during her nights as a femme in the lower east side of New York.
“Resplendently photographed in slo-mo 16mm, this travelogue of desire shows a city of women in heat. Set in noir New York, here is a story of a good girl gone bad, its cross-cutting interludes showing Serra as an office avatar, and Reeves as a metal shop worker with a penchant for uberfemme, after hours dress up. Not just another night in the big city.” Mike Hoolboom, Images Film Festival 2000 Catalog.
