Josephine Decker is one of the most exciting new talents to emerge from recent American independent cinema. Fascinated with the deceptive beauty of the American pastoral landscape, Decker uses her blissful cinematic settings to delve into the mysteries of the female mind and body. Decker’s boldly innovative debut feature explores the mysterious unravelling of a female friendship at a Balkan musical festival in the woods of California.
Butter on the Latch is the tale of an entangled female friendship, set in a real-life Balkan music camp in upstate New York, told with avant-garde flourishes and disturbing psycho-sexual undercurrents. Sarah and Isolde are former friends who meet by chance at a music festival. Happy to be away from the urban life that has for too long defined them, in this mystical setting they embrace the lush natural surroundings, captured with a rare sensuous eye by Decker. The two build a close bond in this female utopia until tensions are strained when Steph, a male camper, arrives. As Sarah’s attraction to him becomes apparent, her bond with Isolde unravels. From here, the film becomes a phantasmagoria that recalls the work of David Lynch. Butter on the Latch boldly invites you to ‘feel’ your way through the drama and heralds a genuinely exciting new filmmaking talent.
