Laurie Anderson’s new film “Heart of a Dog” is a poignant and beautiful meditation on memory, death, and loss. As always with her work, it is complex, evocative, and wraps many themes and observations on our society up with her personal life, weaving it all together in an immersive sensory experience.
Ostensibly dealing with the death of her dog, Lolabelle, the film’s unmentioned but shadowy overhanging presence is her late husband, Lou Reed.
Manohla Dargis’ review in the NY Times is, as usual, wonderfully eloquent: nyti.ms/1QPPxzV.
