An Oversimplification of Her Beauty
@ Doc Films at the University of Chicago
1212 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Monday, February 5th, from 7PM - 8:30PM
Director Terence Nance throws genre out the window to create a film that blends animation, romance, comedy, live-action, and genre, proving that Afrofuturism is a matter not only of content, but also of filmic style. An Oversimplification of Her Beauty follows an artist (Terence Nance) as he ponders his failed relationships, and the differences between romantic and platonic love. The film also boasts a captivating score from Flying Lotus.
runtime: 93m format: Digital
