About
(Nina Menkes, US, 1991, 77 min, in English)
** New 4K restoration! **
Critically acclaimed for her radical, feminist body of work, Nina Menkes Queen of Diamonds is the second title in a quartet of films that Menkes produced, wrote, directed, and shot, all of which star her sister, Tinka Menkes.
Queen of Diamonds follows the alienated life of Firdaus (Tinka Menkes), a Blackjack dealer in a Las Vegas landscape juxtaposed between glittering casino lights and the deteriorating desert oasis. Negotiating a missing husband and neighboring domestic violence, Firdaus world unfolds as a fragmented but hypnotic interplay between repetition and oppressed anger. Shot with a beautiful compositional rigor echoing Chantal Akermans Jeanne Dielman, Queen of Diamonds is a remarkable and demanding masterpiece of American independent filmmaking. Heralded as one of the most challenging and subversive filmmakers working today, the re-release of Queen of Diamonds marks the start of a new critical recognition for Nina Menkes groundbreaking work.
