Doris, a woman in her sixties who has never had a steady job or a lesbian relationship, falls in love with the ten-years-younger Mildred, who has known she was a lesbian her entire life. After moving in together, Doris is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Amid the New Queer Cinema wave, MURDER and Murder shines as an emotionally courageous lesbian love story that prompts reflection on aging as a woman, sexuality, and breast cancer in a culture that glorifies youth and heterosexual romance.
MURDER and Murder is part of our NEW QUEER CINEMA series, showing in June, July, and August 2024 at De Uitkijk.
