An Oversimplification of Her Beauty

Director: Terrence Nance

2012 / 95min / DCP

“Another love story that uses multiple film techniques, both animation and live-action, to follow a day in the life of this filmmaker as he reflects on his failed relationships—there are similarities to The Color of Pomegranates and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind here, too. A love story, but it’s also about loneliness and self-discovery. It’s the first film by Nance—it took him a long time to make, and you feel that labor of love in the film. Everything in it is considered, and the different techniques flow into each other, which is really difficult to do.”—Alexandria Smith
