Film Details

The second movie written and directed by celebrated playwright, professor, and indie filmmaker Kathleen Collins, who died in 1988 at age 46, was one of the first feature films by an African American woman. It was also almost a lost film. Never released theatrically (though we showed it in 1993), this seriocomic tale of two married black professionals (a philosophy professor and a philandering painter) at a crossroads in their life together was rescued from obscurity by Milestone Films, who have restored and rereleased it to rave reviews. With Bill Gunn and Duane Jones. “A nearly lost masterwork.” –The New Yorker.
