Dunye stars as Cheryl, a video-store clerk and aspiring director whose interest in forgotten Black actresses leads her to investigate an obscure 1930s performer known as the Watermelon Woman, whose story proves to have surprising resonances with Cheryl's own life as she navigates a new relationship with a white girlfriend. Balancing a breezy romantic comedy with a serious inquiry into the history of Black and queer women in Hollywood, The Watermelon Woman slyly rewrites long-standing constructions of race and sexuality on-screen, introducing an important voice in American cinema. 650 0 $a Lesbians, Black $v Drama. 650 0 $a African American actresses $v Drama. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Drama. 655 7 $a Feature films. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Documentary-style films. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Fiction films. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Romantic comedy films. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Dunye, Cheryl, $e actor. $e film director, $e actor. 700 1 $a Swimar, Barry, $e film producer. 700 1 $a Juhasz, Alexandra, $e film producer. 700 1 $a Turner, Guinevere, $e actor. 700 1 $a Walker, Valarie, $e actor. 700 1 $a Music, Paul Shapiro ; cinematography, Michelle Crenshaw ; editor, Annie Taylor. 700 1 $a Shapiro, Paul, $e composer (expression) 700 1 $a Crenshaw, Michelle, $e cinematographer. 700 1 $a Taylor, Annie, $e editor of moving image work. 710 2 $a Criterion Collection (Firm), $e publisher. 830 0 $a Criterion collection ; $v 1184. 941 $a 4 945 $a blu 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320010527.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230902014117.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011458.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230802012015.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85F684DC30FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
