Our take
The lesbian couple Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore were artists bending the limits of gender in early 20th century Europe. Through archival photographs, interviews, and lyrical re-enactments, Barbara Hammer’s hybrid documentary delves into the fascinating lives and works of these queer visionaries.
