The inimitable Kathleen Collins's second film is the story of two remarkable people: Sara Rogers, a Black professor of philosophy who embarks on an intellectual quest just as her painter husband, Victor, sets off on an exploration of joy. One of the first features by an African-American woman, "Losing Ground" remains a powerful, funny, brilliant, and personal member of indie cinema canon.
