A poem for A - by Justin Anderson for Roksanda Ilincic
"This film takes it's structure from a short love poem by Harold Pinter written in 1974 about Lady Antonia Fraser his then lover and subsequent wife. She is and was the 'Light of his Life'. In making this film I was trying evoke some of the feeling of the mid-seventies YSL , a beautiful girl with a rich dark skin wearing a dress that seems to emit light, she is hit by cracks of sunlight. This is a very formal film about colour, form and minimal movement. Roksanda Ilincic is a designer I greatly admire, her work is very sculptural, feminine and has a real filmic quality."
