"1 out of 20 directors to watch!" THE NEW YORK TIMES (ranking 2013). "An endearing love poem" VARIETY. "One of the best indie films of the year." INDIEWIRE. "The most original and innovative independent film of the year." WAY TOO INDIE. Rule #1, never, ever let a beautiful person pass you by. You fell in love with her in 2001. The last time you saw her you said goodbye, and left her in her 3rd floor dorm room. You broke into tears when you arrived at the second floor. By the time you left the building your eyes were swollen shut. And you, which person will you think about, while watching "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty"? With arresting insight, vulnerability, and a delightful sense of humor, Terence Nance’s explosively creative debut feature, "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty" documents the relationship between Terence and a lovely young woman (Namik Minter) as it teeters on the divide between platonic and romantic. Utilizing a tapestry of live action and various styles of animation, Terence explores the fantasies, emotions, and memories that race through his mind during a singular moment in time.
