SO PRETTY

Jessie Jeffrey Dunn Rovinelli
​ 2019
SUN 3RD NOV | THE MAC | 7PM | £7
Picture
Inspired by the German novel So Schön by Ronald M. Schernikau set in 1980s west Berlin, this airy and naturalistic film follows a friend group of trans young people in present day New York City. 

​The second feature from Brooklyn-based director, writer editor and trans actress, Jessie Jeffrey Dunn Rovinelli, the film weaves between performative set-pieces that see characters interacting  with Schernikau’s text, and narrated sequences that shed light on the thoughts and feelings of the main protagonists as their queer polyamorous community interacts internally and with the outer world.
The subtle performances by actors Thomas Love, Rachika Samarth, Arlene Gregoire and Edem Dela-Seshie, Rovinelli’s documentary-like handling of the text and the film’s Super16mm aesthetic give it the essence of classic independent films from the 1990s, but with an update to reflect a quiet revolution of romance and relationships that is distinctly of the 21st Century.
