Starring director Abel Ferrara and writer Alissa Bennett, Head and Hands centers around a conversation regarding Pier Paolo Pasolini's life and death. Spiraling out from there, the story breaks into an unconventional and tangential narrative about love, hustlers, desire, drugs, conspiracy, film scripts, and the actress Zoë Lund. Head and Hands is a fascinating look at the obsessive forces at play and self-destructive tendencies that often accompany creative brilliance.
The film shows an event immediately preceding and following an act of extreme violence.
