Summary INDIGO LADY is a performance art film about a Nebraska ranching empire heiress who murders her husband, butchers him the way her father taught her to butcher a hog, and 'cures' him in the meat cellar. The movie is loosely based on various news items, folklore, and random stories about rural life that the director heard while living in Nebraska the first half of her life. The story, characters, and subtext are lifted from a solo performance play that the director wrote in the 1990s and that was produced by The Lorraine Hansberry Theater in San Francisco USA. The dialogue and action are completely improvised by the actors and shot 'documentary style.' The movie heavily employs montage and each scene is a 'painting.' View more details
