No Sex Last Night (Double Blind) is an experimental film documenting a road trip across America made by French artist Sophie Calle and American photographer Greg Shephard. Both equipped with video cameras, the artists record each other throughout their journey from New York to California in Shephard’s ailing Cadillac. As the title suggests, the film painstakingly documents a complex relationship in demise.
The 76-minute film can be streamed on this page throughout the weekend, from 6pm on Friday to midnight on Sunday.
“a rocky road movie that melds performance art with vestiges of existentialism”
–– Lisa Nesselson, Variety, February 18, 1996
"Both road movie and diary of a hopelessly neurotic romance between two passive-aggressives, No Sex Last Night is compelling viewing"
–– Amy Taubin, The Village Voice, March 20, 2001
"Here are two people forced to spend hours and hours of time together who clearly don’t like one another [...] It's the right kind of movie to watch right now”
–– Sophie Kemp, Garage, March 29, 2020
