Norma’s Lament

Norma's Lament

Christina Booth | USA | 1996 | 30' |

| IFFR 1997

When Norma, obviously the shorty among her group of girlfriends, first embarks on a sexual affair, a lyrical journey of fantastic proportions starts for the viewer focusing on sex, love and betrayal. Amy Taubin, Village Voice: ‘Booth’s intelligence, humour and distinctly female p.o.v. never wavers.’
