An Oversimplification of Her Beauty
Terence Nance describes his film as a journey of self-realization through the experience of love. In reality, his first attempt at a full-length feature is a sweet and painful adventure that’s more accurately described as an experience rather than a conventional narrative.
Terence Nance describes his film as a journey of self-realization through the experience of love. In reality, his first attempt at a full-length feature is a sweet and painful adventure that’s more accurately described as an experience rather than a conventional narrative. The 30-year-old dandy with the trademark afro, writes, directs, stars and edits a patchwork of encounters, travelogues and original animation in a sui generis love story. The film originally started out as a short, a declaration of love to his close friend Namik Minter, who’s also happens to be the main character. When she first watched the film in public she didn’t respond to his affections, but he kept on filming their story – although they’d gone their separate ways – as a means of dealing with the rejection. The end result is an imaginative medley of documentary and fiction, which breaks right through to your heart every chance it gets reminding viewers that love doesn’t always conquer all but life certainly does.
