LIVES OF PERFORMERS

Yvonne Rainer | 90 min | United States | 1972

The familiar tale of a man who can’t choose between two women and makes everyone suffer is reworked by Rainer as a jolting and radically austere, anti-illusionist spectacle, comprising dance rehearsals, photography, tableaux, and a flurry of fragments of text, both on screen and not.
