Ava DuVernay’s highly-acclaimed narrative feature debut,
I Will Follow takes place during one day in the life of Maye
(Salli Richardson-Whitfield) as she packs up the family
home upon her aunt’s death. In this contemplative and
lushly-shot drama, Maye encounters objects as well as
people from her past, triggering memories and emotions
that help her move forward. Roger Ebert called the film,
“One of the best films I’ve seen about coming to terms
with the death of a loved one.”
I Will Follow underscores
the beauty of the quotidian, highlighting DuVernay’s take
on an innovative art cinema that tells black stories. (2K DCP presenstation)
