Keep the Lights On Wins at the Berlinale
“During the explosion of New Queer Cinema in the early 1990s, a talented crop of directors emerged, including Todd Haynes,Tom Kalin, Gregg Araki and Rose Troche, bringing boldly stylized approaches to telling gay and lesbian stories. But as that movement dispersed, gay-themed film largely has either inched toward the mainstream or retreated further into the margins.
Like recent indie discoveries Weekend and Pariah, Keep the Lights On operates in a kind of poetic realism that feels fresh and culturally specific. It also marks a return of sorts for Sachs to the hypnotic mood-piece quality of his first feature, The Delta.”
