One film that
we’ve have definitely been championing since 2012 on this site is Terence Nance’s An Oversimplification Of
Her Beauty, a film that Tambay has called “one of the most stylish, inventive,
challenging, thoughtful and engaging films” that he had ever seen.
Challenging
is true, or as I said about the film last summer, to describe what the film… “in few words is impossible. You have to see it
and even then it’s no easy task. It’s open to anyone’s interpretation,
and it’s guaranteed to get a reaction out of anyone who sees it, which is what
any real filmmaker longs for.“
But don’t let
that stop from you seeing what is one of the most adventurous and original black
films made in the last decade. And that is the most important thing isn’t it?
And to remind
you, Jai Tiggett did an interview with Nance about his film back in April
2012 which you can read HERE.
And now the
film is opening today in the U.K. with a sold out show tonight at the Ritzy Cinema in Brixton in London, before getting a wider UK wide release, starting tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb. 11 in Clapham, Greenwich, Hackney and Stratford East all in London.
Also, the film
will eventually open in the following other U.K.
cities Bath, Brighton, Bury St Edmunds, Edinburgh,
Exeter, Henley-on-Thames, Liverpool, Norwich
Oxford, Southampton, Stratford-upon-Avon and York.
And, on top
of that, the film will also expand further
north into Scotland, opening in Aberdeen.
