Lover, Beloved

Lover, Beloved presents an experimental narrative that merges various artistic forms. The film features Suzanne Vega as she revisits two talks given by Carson McCullers at the 92nd St. Y in New York City.

The runtime of 78 minutes allows for a focused exploration of McCullers' life, particularly her messy romances and reflections on mortality. The first talk, set in 1942, captures her candid thoughts during a lecture, while the second, delivered 25 years later, examines her life experiences and relationships, culminating in a poignant reflection on love and solitude.
