Sink or swim [videorecording] / filmmaker, Su Friedrich.
This autobiographical film by Su Friedrich is a compelling account of a relationship between father and daughter. Traveling backwards from the letter Z, a young girl narrates 26 short stories which recount memories of a father she both fears and admires. Images from family vacations, the circus and Death Valley, interlaced with her voice-over, suggest an unbreachable distance, culminating in her father<U+2019>s betrayal. Fraught with tension, ambivalence and finally love, the film<U+2019>s vignettes combine the precision of structural filmmaking with the emotional power of storytelling.
