Strand has long been one of the most vibrant and active figures of the personal cinema. Soft Fiction is her most accomplished recent film, focusing on women talking about their experiences, ‘‘capturing the subtle nuances in expressions and gestures rarely seen in the cinema. It’s rare to find an erotic film with a female perspective dominating the narrative… and the rhythms with which the film is constructed.” —Martha Kinder
