A review of Breaking Plates

Description

"Karen Pearlman and the Physical TV Company continue to create the most innovative and thought-provoking films in cinema today. The latest, Breaking Plates, is as powerful as it is ambitious, leaning into the processes of filmmaking and its historical legacy to raise questions about the creative process, female agency, and the fragility of the structures that contain all of us. These questions aren’t answered semantically in the work, but rather visually, though exuberance, song, dance, play, and yes, the symbolism of plate breaking."
