Saving Sister Aimee (2001)
Brilliant Documentary
19 June 2006 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
The best doc on Sister Aimee. Features interviews with her daughter, the leading man in her theatrical sermons, those who knew her and worked closely with her, and the warriors in a legal battle over her legacy and Temple. This seminal Academy Aard-considered film prepared Rossi to make his masterful feature "Aimee Semple McPherson" (2006) Hard to believe Rossi made this for a few hundred dollars in a few days, and received numerous threats to try to stop him from exhibiting the film from Aimee loyalists. Religious folks can be nasty. The interview with Aimee's daughter,age 95, is masterfully lit and shot and is the narrative framework of the cinema-verite movie.
