A Digibeta screened at Helsinki Film Festival, Maxim 2, 24 Sep 2010
In the presence of Vivi Friedman, a Finnish director of films and commercials based at Los Angeles since 2003.
A black comedy about a wildly dysfunctional family with a great cast. Everything changes when the mother of the family (Hope Davis) hits her head during a hot extra-marital session and loses parts of her memory. Not quite successful but I admire Vivi Friedman's bravery in venturing into daring territory.
