Alan Rudolph’s Dramas of Desire

Alan Rudolph’s Dramas of Desire

5 Episodes

Alan Rudolph’s cinema is a constellation of dreamers, drifters, and disenchanted romantics. A protégé of Robert Altman and a singular voice in independent film, Rudolph has long been a maverick, eschewing convention in favor of elliptical storytelling, painterly compositions, and jazz-inflected rhythms. His films—including the tour-de-force Geraldine Chaplin thriller REMEMBER MY NAME and the surreally stylish neonoir TROUBLE IN MIND—invite us into richly textured worlds where emotional logic supersedes plot, and the ephemeral becomes eternal.
