Film Notes

There are detective films. There are spy films. There are ethnographic films. There’s Mae West. This is a family film. We’ve drawn on our knowledge of a milieu, a religion that we’ve had occasion to experience. Daddy isn’t my father or Peter Whitehead’s father. But he was our father during the making of the film. This film is based on family archetypes that we denounce!
