Summary:
"Over the past 30 years 'cinematic sorceress' Nina Menkes has produced a visually stunning and uncompromising body or work that stands alone in the landscape of American Independent cinema. Beginning with a quartet of films --- The Great Sadness of Zohara (1983), Magdalena Viraga (1986), Queen of Diamonds (1991) and The Bloody Child (1996) --- that Menkes produced, wrote, directed, and shot, all of which star her sister and early muse Tinka Menkes, and concluding with a pair of surreal black and white psychodramas --- Phantom Love (2007) and Dissolution (2012) --- 'Cinematic Sorceress: The Films of Nina Menkes' is a comprehensive survey of one of the most essential filmmakers working today."--Container.
