Kristina Talking Pictures

Yvonne Rainer, united states of america 1976, Bert Barr, Frances Barth, James Barth

black and white ⁄ 90'

Having established herself as a foremost contemporary choreographer, Yvonne Rainer turned toward filmmaking to make a remarkable series of features. Ostensibly the story of a lion tamer who has moved from Budapest to New York to become a dancer, the narrative elements of Kristina Talking Pictures are just one device in a collage that unpacks filmic construction, raising questions on representation, coherence and truth.
