An ineffable mixture of light and dark, desire and death.

Richard Zimler's The Angelic Darkness is an unforgettable, tender, and magical portrait of San Francisco in the mid-80s as well as its lost souls, struggling to find love and intimacy in a city whose buoyancy has been eclipsed by the shadows of gloom. Offering them a way out of these shadows is a storyteller whose mysterious tales skirt the boundary between good and evil.
