HOW TO SHOOT A CRIME

Directed by Chris Kraus, Sylvère Lotringer
United States, 1987
Avant-Garde, Short

Synopsis

In How to Shoot a Crime, Chris Kraus constructs a quasi-documentary with police crime footage, interviews with two dominitrices, and an ersatz mystery sub-plot. Sadomasochism finds its analog in a “plot” where gentrification and crime documentation are two versions of aestheticized death.
