Quote:
"To begin with, conversation is the metaphor most obviously suggested by the film because, as its sub-title specifies (Adrienne Rich and Dionne Brand in Conversation), Listening for Something... shows Brand and Rich having literal conversation on various subjects and against numerous backdrops. Beyond this, however, the film is constructed in such a way as to place their interspersed poetic excerpts in conversation with each other, and in conversation with their recorded discussions."
