Amor Peligrosa

A romance between a skeletonized couple begins with ballroom dancing to sweeping orchestral strains and ends with a salacious roll in the dirt astride his and her headstones in San Francisco–based filmmaker Michelle Silva's cheeky, macabre 2002 flight into the darker side of passion. Silva (a one-time student of George Kuchar) layers negative images atop each other as she limns the landscape of the unconscious with a bold, almost brooding humor. - Robert Avila
