White Echo (2019) dir. Chloë Sevigny
Five women in their thirties examine their own power in life. Carlas relationship to her power is a metaphor for my desire to be a filmmaker. What happens when we are confronted with the opportunity to do something we so desire Do we invite it in or drown in fear CHLOË SEVIGNY Carlas quest to be a convincing medium is similar to an artists search for selfpossession. Sheil embodies Carla with her trademark fearless intensitya worthy counterpart to her role in She Dies Tomorrow. Sevigny brings Sheils visceral acting to the fore in a spellbinding latenight dance sequence, which interweaves phantasmic visual effects with gestural depictions of femininity. Centering female autonomy in a horror framework, White Echo dares Carla to own her powers.
