House of Tolerance

A film about the fluid nature of time: split-screens, elliptical editing, a flash-forward, anachronistic music, and period details all mingle on the film's surface. Meanwhile, the women of l'Apollonide go about their day-to-day business, haunted equally by past events and the ever-slimming possibilities that lay on their horizons. Beautifully shot, House of Tolerance explores time's ghastly, relentless potential.
