Window on Your Present is Cinqué Lee's first feature film, which he wrote and directed in 1988. Lee is no stranger to film appearing in Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train, Coffee & Cigarettes, and was also co-writer & co-producer of his brother's (Spike Lee) Crooklyn.
Window on Your Present takes place in a world where color and love do not exist. The people who live in this dreary world have nothing to live for and often end up taking their own lives. However, two unlikely lovers discovery that there is something else that is special that exists outside of their horrid world.
"Genetically much closer to maudit French literature than to mainstream American cinema, Cinqué Lee's visually haunting 1980s post-apocalyptic narrative tone-poem should be regarded as a true underground classic!" - Jim Jarmusch
