Yvonne Rainer's latest and most personal film is a soap, black comedy, love story, and political reflection all rolled into one.
Doris, a woman in her sixties who has never had a steady job or a lesbian relationship, falls in love with Mildred, ten years her junior, who has known she was a lesbian her whole life. After they move in together, Doris is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Murder and Murder is an emotionally courageous lesbian love story that prompts reflection on aging as a woman, sexuality, and breast cancer in a culture that glorifies youth and heterosexual romance.
With POTTENKIJKERS, De Uitkijk regularly screens lesbian films in the broadest sense of the term. Together with your favorite les(bi)ans and everyone who loves them, you watch the most obscure queer films, radical documentaries, and affectionate romcoms.
