Heart of a Dog
AroView: Wunderkind performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson directs this gentle yet typically idiosyncratic and thoughtful cinematic essay that reflects on her relationship with her beloved terrier, Lolabelle. Illustrated with exquisite mixed-media collages, its themes of love and death take inspiration from multiple philosophical traditions and her own experiences.
“A self-narrated punk meditation on love and death; exquisitely crafted and effortlessly profound” ~Bill Gosden, New Zealand International Film Festival
“Heart of a Dog is about telling and remembering and forgetting, and how we put together the fragments that make up our lives — their flotsam and jetsam, highs and lows, meaningful and slight details, shrieking and weeping headline news.” ~Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
