About

You can stream Bleeder (1999) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Two stories for the price of one: a video store clerk tries to get acquainted with a waitress; a man beats his pregnant wife, unaware that her brother is a violent racist.

Can a quiet clerk find connection with a stranger, or will the violent collision of domestic abuse and racial rage tear these lives apart? This dual narrative captures the suffocating tension of lives spinning toward an inevitable, bruising breaking point.
