Hedda Gabler
Sep 28, 2005
(Paul Willis, USA, 2004, BetaSP, 73 min.)
START-TO-FINISH #4
A woman in a small Central Washington town struggles against a new marriage and is forced to reckon with a life that falls short of her ideals.
The fourth feature made through NWFF's Start-to-Finish grant program, HEDDA is a daring, urgent update of the Norwegian masterpiece. Finding rich inspiration in the Dogme movement, Willis uses digital video to create an indelible, claustrophobic portrait of Hedda.
