Phantom Love (2007)

Phantom Love is a surreal drama about a woman trapped within an enmeshed family, and her slow process of personal liberation.  Set in Los Angeles and Rishikesh, India, the film combines fairy-tale elements with brutal black and white photography to create a powerful testament about inner transformation.

Reviews

“Stanley Kubrick's confident statement “If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed” receives stunning confirmation in PHANTOM LOVE… Not since Bela Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies has black-and-white looked so stunning and mesmerizing…RADICAL AND BEAUTIFUL, PURE CINEMA, ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST FILMS!!” 

Robert Koehler, VARIETY

"POTENT AND LUMINOUS!  A seductively powerful vision...Menkes is one of the most provocative artists in film today!"
