CINEMATIC SORCERESS: THE FILMS OF NINA MENKES Blu-ray Review

CINEMATIC SORCERESS: THE FILMS OF NINA MENKES Nina Menkes is an incredibly intimate and brutally honest filmmaker. With a career spanning three decades, she has continually looked inward to reflect on the world around her. Her films have a journal-like quality, focusing on quiet moments of contemplation through characters who never feel like they are performing. Voyeurism without a male gaze. She often creates beautiful, stark imagery that highlights isolation in natural and inhabited landscapes.
