The first feature film in thirty years by Laurie Anderson. A cinematic tone poem that flows from a sustained meditation on death and other forms of absence, the film seamlessly weaves together thoughts on Tibetan Buddhism, reincarnation, the modern surveillance state, and the artistic lives of dogs. The tender and provocative film continues Anderson’s four-and-a-half-decade career of imbuing the everyday with a sense of dreamlike wonder.
