Inspired by the writing of Monique Wittig, Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers, and films by Jean-Luc Godard, among others, (Lizzie) Borden communicates still-urgent political concerns via a variety of inventive aesthetic approaches. While each film in the trilogy has a unique form and structure, all combine the relevance of documentary filmmaking with an innovative and layered approach to fiction. Working Girls, as J. Hoberman remarked, "is notable for its measured structure, analytical camera placement and straightforward cool," while Regrouping and Born in Flames employ an exuberant collage aesthetic rendered coherent by Borden's excellent editing. - Kate MacKay, Associate Film Curator
