Primelpathogen
The young, beautiful Swedish artiste Maria Norrman is the new Maya Deren with her experimental films that not only remind one of the great Deren´s work but also the Canadian early cinema feminist Nell Shipman.
Her latest project
concentrates on the obscure Swedish female impersonator John Lind and his wife and manager Stephanie Lind. This new short subject gem is very elegant in the way it takes its sweet time with exacting focus. Playing Lind is actor and ballet dancer Corrado di Lorenzo who reminded me of George de la Pena who played Nijinsky in the 1980 Herbert Ross directed bio pic. Not only does Ms. Norrman act and direct but she has designed some superlative costumes, and props. When you see the film you´ll have to judge for yourself whether Ms. Norrman´s costuming is more Theoni V. Aldredge or Walter Plunkett.
