Luther Price

Pop Takes (2013)

With Pop Takes, Luther Price transforms a terrific thrift-store find into a reflexive Warholian catwalk upon which twirling women and jaunty men sashay with decadent, late-seventies zeal, the film's coarse optical sound and images in negative creating a st ...

Shelly Winters (2010)

A film without images — only the sounds of interviews from a documentary about domestic violence. "Shelly Winters" is a deeply unsettling experience, intensified by the incongruous joke of its title, suggesting how, even in the most abject of moments, we ...

Mother (revised) (2002)

A portrait of his mother reveals his admiration for Sirkian melodramas, for a Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck–like glamour that defies reality's vulgar truths. Standing before the ocean in a billowing emerald dress with matching necklace, her hair tied b ...

Home (1999)

A. (1994)

"Edie, the faded starlet of "A." is not so much a literal figuration of a woman, but a nightmare memory come to life. Nothing in Price's cinema is quite what it appears to be. Daytime broadcasts implode into personal confessions. Edie is not Price-in-drag, ...

Mr. Wonderful (1988)

Childhood programming is a recurring Price theme. His 10-minute Mr. Wonderful matches a single, scratched close-up of an LP portrait of goofy Fred Rogers to selections from the record. The effect is less ironic than defamiliarizing. At one point, Mr. Roger ...
