Sink or Swim (1990)
Delicately done and very moving

This short film begins in a very strange manner, like most avant-garde films do. I watched it in a film class at Columbia University and have to admit that everything about this piece falls into place brilliantly. I was not familiar with this film maker and wish she was given the chance to make movies like this with a bigger reach. This film is deeply moving and has a very heavy heart. The use of Schubert's music is nothing short of beautiful in the context of the movie. Without giving away the details of the film, I wish every dead beat parent could see this before they abandon their children. This piece captures the aftermath of abandonment with all its pain and desperation. Beautiful. I'm glad I saw it.
