DARLING INTERNATIONAL

1999 | U.S. | 16mm | 22 min.

Directed by MM Serra and Jennifer Reeves

A dark and sensual experimental narrative that explores a skilled technical worker’s fantasies during her nights as a femme in the Lower East Side of New York.

“Resplendently photographed in slo-mo 16mm, this travelogue of desire shows a city of women in heat. Set in noir New York, here is a story of a good girl gone bad, its cross-cutting interludes showing Serra as an office avatar, and Reeves as a metal shop worker with a penchant for uberfemme, after hours dress up. Not just another night in the big city.”
