For My Baby
102 min Netherlands, 1998
English
Rudolf van den Berg, Director |
Featuring a stellar performance by Tony Award Winner Alan
Cumming (Circle of Friends), For My Baby is a provocative psychological
drama that is at turns daring, confrontational, and affecting. A stand-up
"shock" comic who nightly pushes the limits with his edgy Holocaust-inspired
material, Daniel lives in Vienna haunted by his parents wartime experiences and his
dead sisters unyielding grasp on his soul. When he meets an American opera singer
and falls in love, his world begins to unravel completely, until he is forced to choose,
once and for all, to relinquish the past or lose all prospects for redemption. |
