Queen of Diamonds (35mm/77 min/1991) Filmed on location in Las Vegas, QUEEN is a visually stunning work that revolves around the life of an alienated blackjack dealer. Starring Tinka Menkes as the intense, damaged dealer, the film examines the desolation of daytime Vegas in a film that was named one of the Year's Ten Best by the Los Angeles Times, Film Comment, The Atlanta Art Papers and numerous other periodicals. Premiered at Sundance in dramatic competition. Produced with support from the National Endowment of the Arts, the AFI Independent Filmmaker Award, and two Western Regional Media Arts Fellowships. QUEEN OF DIAMONDS, THE LATEST JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF INDEPENDENT FILMMAKER NINA MENKES, MAY BECOME FOR AMERICA IN THE '90'S WHAT JEANNE DIELMAN WAS FOR EUROPE IN THE 70'S--A CULT CLASSIC USING A RIGOROUS VISUAL COMPOSITION TO PENETRATE THE INNERMOST RECESSES OF THE SOUL. --The Chicago Reader
