Gustav Deutsch<br />

<strong>Film</strong> is. a girl & a gun<br />

44 International Festival Screenings<br />

Paris, New York, Hong Kong …<br />

Deutsch uncannily collapses all boundaries<br />

between the genres, suggesting a feverish<br />

celluloid dream – or nightmare.<br />

Melissa Anderson – VILLAGE VOICE<br />

<strong>Film</strong> is. a girl & a gun takes its title from a D. W. Griffith maxim, stating that all a<br />

director needs are these two elements. Deutsch uses the concept as a jumpingoff<br />

point for an exploration of Thanatos and Eros, infusing narrative, medical, and<br />

pornographic sources with mythic symbolism. As Deutsch reveals metonymic<br />

visual links between the genres, the boundaries between fiction and documentary<br />

grow both indiscernible and irrelevant. (Ed Halter)<br />
