MUBI Notebook Presents: Double-Blind

“Even if this is going to be a disaster, we’ll go…”

For the first installment in a series programmed by the editors of Notebook, MUBI’s online film journal, BAM is thrilled to screen Sophie Calle and Greg Shephard’s deeply personal road movie turned romantic tragicomedy, Double-Blind. In the early days of 1992, two near-strangers join their fates in a wheezing Cadillac, each wielding a camcorder. As they cross the US by way of drab motels, greasy spoons, and the like, their temperamental engine and frustrated desires combine for a regular pattern of breakdowns—both human and mechanical. Filmmaker Kit Zauhar (Actual People, This Closeness) introduces the film and is joined in conversation by the critic Kaitlyn A. Kramer.
