Boy / Girl

About This Movie

So, 'Boy / Girl' is an interesting piece from 1987. It’s LaBruce’s first short experimental flick, shot on super 8, which gives it that grainy, raw aesthetic that really pulls you in. The narrative feels loose, almost like a collage, mixing original footage with found material and shots off TV. There’s this woman, G.B. Jones, with striking long red hair just hanging out on a window sill, contemplating life—or maybe just the world outside. It’s a bit fragmented in pacing, which might not be for everyone, but that kind of adds to its charm, right? Themes of identity and perception weave through the clips, creating a unique atmosphere that feels both personal and universal. Definitely not conventional, but that's what makes it distinctive.
