nicola deane on claire angelique’s “my black little heart”

“and i was also thinking of that film “black little heart”, why it kind of offended me so much, drove me to defense mode…but i understand it more, from a distance…
that closing imagery i did actually find beautiful, but i wanted to deny it, to reject it - i just couldn’t go that far, that deep into self-hatred, it irritated me, but that final imagery gave me a look into what the heroin does for the junky, it visually captured the beautiful feeling of escape from the horror of the absence of love.”
