How Dark My Love

About This Movie

How Dark My Love dives deep into the psyche of Joe Coleman, a painter whose work is as much about the grotesque as it is about love. The atmosphere is thick with tension; you can feel the weight of his obsession as he tackles this seven-foot canvas of his wife, Whitney. The film doesn’t shy away from exploring the complexities of their relationship, set against his signature chaotic style. There are moments where the pacing slows, allowing for reflection on both art and the human condition. It’s fascinating to see how he balances the macabre with tenderness, creating a unique juxtaposition. The practical effects and raw honesty in his portrayal make this documentary stand out, even if the director remains a mystery.
