Damned if you don't

Su Friedrich

Streaming video - 2014

'Damned If You Don't' is Friedrichs subversive and ecstatic response to her Catholic upbringing. Blending conventional narrative technique with impressionistic camerawork, symbols and voice-overs, this film creates an intimate study of sexual expression and repression. Featuring Peggy Healey as a young nun tormented by her desire for the sultry irresistible Ela Troyano. --Kanopy.

  • Ep. 1. Damned if you don't (55 min.): Friedrichs subversive and ecstatic response to her Catholic upbringing.
  • ep. 2. 'Rules of the Road' is the story of a love affair and its demise through one of the objects shared by the couple: an old beige station wagon with fake wood paneling. Through spoken text, popular music and images from the streets of New York, 'Rules of the Road' (31 min.) takes a somewhat whimsical, somewhat caustic look at how our dreams of freedom, pleasure, security, and family are so often symbolized by the automobile.
  • ep. 3. First comes love (22 min.): Friedrichs film is a sumptuous and deeply felt examination of the timeless ritual of marriage. Gorgeous footage of four traditional weddings captures the emotional ambiguities of a cultural event with which everyone is familiar.
