THE SAVAGE EYE

A fascinating and singular artifact from the American cinéma vérité movement of the 1950s, THE SAVAGE EYE is an experimental docufiction film that questions the nature of identity through the empty flash of the city of Angels. Recently divorced from her promiscuous husband, Judith moves to Los Angeles in hopes of finding a new life for herself and instead discovers a world that challenges every notion she has about what it means to be a woman reaching middle age. Blending palpably raw documentary footage from the sun-soaked streets with thoughtful reflections on femininity and self-image, THE SAVAGE EYE is a quintessential piece of experimental American cinema that deserves to be seen on the big screen.
