Absolutely Fantastic
Su Friedrich is incredible. How she is able to craft a story out of stories is mesmerizing. Her words have the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose. Her work is short, yet powerful. After forty-seven minutes, I had pages of notes, the same as a full-length feature, yet her films are by no means taxing to watch. Though her work has many layers, it is not impossible to understand. The film is well-crafted, well-written.
Honestly, I find many non-fiction films to be something of a bore, and I was surprised to be so engaged and fascinated by Friedrich. I watched this three times consecutively and several more times in my week's rental. Then I bought her collection of works. Really, truly brilliant.
