Two art thieves have stolen the famous "Black Square" of Russian painter Kasimir Malevich. They plan to meet their clients on a cruise ship to hand over the looted art. However, things are not going quite as planned..

Las Vegas is what you make of it. Hollywood makes it into a place of speedy, jacked-up risk. Nina Menkes is an American Filmmaker with no interest in that Vegas. Hers is a place of great expanses of dry earth, smudged blue sky, flat lakes, lonely people and incongruously garish or claustrophobic interiors. Queen of Diamonds is about moods, the Old Testament, death, marriage, hazard and how we watch images on a screen; it is only tangentially about a black jack dealer whose husband is missing. 　　Menkes, who once photographed Bedouin people in the Sinai, has an eye for compositional drama and a sense of pace that couldn't be more opposed to Hollywood time, which assumes viewer impatience. (...) Maintaining the integrity of a radical experimentalist with the resources of fine-grain 35mm film technology, Menkes may be on a course to making an unprecedented kind of cinema. Queen of Diamonds is a step in that course.

《黑色电影与电影黑色》是一部按时间顺序拼贴的作品，它挪用了那些来自所谓的经典好莱坞时代的大量影像——也就是在1950年代，法国评论家称之为“黑色电影”的作品，这个特殊的类型，被认为是20世纪人类心理史及战争史黑暗景观的表征。这部拼贴作品涵盖了从美国1940年代早期到1950年代后期横跨20年、近310部黑色电影，同时也采用了一些其他国家的黑色电影。它将黑色电影们化作自己的“操作领域”，重现于当代语境，并以极具破坏力的剪辑再创造，与历史上的黑色电影交相辉映形成了一次闭环，像一只在历史和欲望的门槛上游荡的“衔尾蛇”，那可见和不可见的光与影的交织令我们沉迷。
