Metrograph’s At Home With… Lynn Hershman Leeson selects The Image of Dorian Gray in the Yellow Press

Lynn Hershman Leeson selects The Image of Dorian Gray in the Yellow Press by Ulrike Ottinger (1984) for Metrograph’s monthly film series At Home With…

“Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Yellow Press is an exuberant, wild and over-the-top film by Ulrike Ottinger. I had forgotten the glory of Ottinger’s unrestrained flirtation with the luxuriant possibilities offered only by film. Ottinger exploits these possibilities with matching wit and humor as only she can, creating a metaphor for the story through her extraordinary style.”
