Luther Price Retrospective – Programme 1

Directed by Luther Price

A (Luther Price, 1995, 60 mins)
As ravenously beautiful as anything that he has ever made, this unforgettable Super 8 mini-epic stars the filmmaker in a totally committed performance that resulted in Price almost accidentally asphyxiating himself during filming.

“A. is a relentlessly rancid alcoholic and drug-induced journey through which Edie, a washed-up and broken movie starlet finds herself alone and ugly with only glittering memories of her silver past.” – L.P.

Super 8mm-to-digital. Digitally restored by Anthology Film Archives with support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
