Directed by Nina Menkes
Phantom Love presents Lulu, an alienated woman who works in a casino in Los Angeles’ Koreatown; a cacophonous space offering escape from an abusive relationship and a toxic brew of family traumas. As demands on Lulu are increased and complicated, she realizes the importance and possibility of psychic escape, as a succession of enigmatic symbols (writhing snakes and squids, galloping horses) suggest the power that lies within.
