Lulu lives alone and works in a casino in Los Angeles’ Koreatown; her younger sister is going through a psychotic breakdown; and her mother wants to come stay in Lulu’s apartment. As Lulu tries to extricate herself from her family, she descends further into herself.
Surrealist objects set the stage and a menagerie of kindred animals curl and slither across it in Nina Menkes’s shadowy, monochrome fairytale. Numbed to loveless sex and pointless wars, Marina Shoif’s saturnine croupier abandons earthbound calls and levitates toward the ether for her liberation.
