This is an art film with the storyteller narrating a real-life murder story based on her personal experience. This is not my sort of a film and would probably appeal to film students of the period, but it has a lot of fans, even today. On the positive side I found that I couldn't switch it off until it was over. The song in the latter half of the film was in keeping with the weird style the storyteller chose to use. If you like modern art in its more traditional form, then this one may appeal to you. Cecilia Condit has uploaded this and other films to YouTube. Have a look for yourself.
