Kristina Talking Pictures

Directed by Yvonne Rainer

With Bert Barr, Frances Barth, James Barth, Janet Froelich and Kate Parker

Kristina, a self-named Hungarian female lion tamer, arrives in New York to become a dance choreographer. Kristina, now a middle-class NYC artist concerned about the environment, has a sailor lover named Raoul. The film, a collage work, an essay film, a fictional narrative and a documentary all rolled into one, is one of the most important independent American feminists films made during the 1970's.
