Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title of the film is a reference to Nan Goldin's older sister, Barbara Holly Goldin. It's a direct quote from a mental health evaluation of Barbara during her time at an institution. She died by suicide in 1965, at the age of 18. This film and Nan Goldin's 1986 "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" are dedicated to her.
- Quotes
Self - Nan's Mother: Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets. Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
- SoundtracksThe Cold Song
Performed by Klaus Nomi
There are vastly more powerful films about photographers, searing works about the opioid epidemic, beautiful films about artistic process. This film intersects with each of those genres, but in an insubstantial and unmemorable way.
The buzz around this work -- and there is a lot of buzz -- seems rooted in the celebrity of the filmmaker and its subject. That's ironic, for the film appears to seek its power from themes larger than any individual, yet winds up relevant only if underpinned by the fame surrounding its maker and central character. Like the reviewer here PedroPires90 wrote ("Unfocused," March 3, 2023), "honestly it was hard to find the strength to finish it."
