GRIEF ENCOUNTER

Overview

Part thriller, part documentary, part skin flick, Grief Encounter defies categorization. Our heroine is Eloise, a glamorous huntress who attends funerals to seduce mourners. Grief Encounter flips the traditional patriarchal power dynamic set out for men and women; Eloise is a kind of modern-day Don Giovanni; a charming sadomasochist turned on by male vulnerability. This is a film about sex but it is also about a woman who refuses to conform.
