Precious Blood (1982)


Directed by
Robert Altman.

Filmmaker Robert Altman renewed an early-career commitment to live theater in the mid-1980s, directing plays for the Los Angeles stage, and adapting some works (including Precious Blood) into features or for broadcast.  This intense, two-character play, with subtle uses of lighting, camera and music, concerns a white man and a black woman whose lives never intersected, except perhaps around one traumatic story that each one relates separately. 

Screenwriter: Frank South. Cast: Guy Boyd, Alfre Woodard.

Digital video, color, 60 min.
