Anne Charlotte Robertson
(USA, 1997, video, 26:49)
Poetic melodrama and almost intolerable frankness struggle for supremacy in a new section of the Super-8 diary by Anne Robertson. It starts full promise. with the spring in full bloom, and ends with the beginning of autumn. Any hopes she may have had for deliverance from the miserable eulogy of psychoses, medication, alcohol, obesity and most of all, her loneliness are shattered by the death of her three year old niece, Emily. We hope that her belief salvation by God will become true.
