Fiona R2 Nl (Dutch Subtitles) - Kollek, AmosReleasedatum: 13 juli 2005
Amos Kollek tells the dramatic story of Fiona, a young woman abandoned at birth on the streets of New York. Sexually abused by her foster father she finally ends up, like her mother, as a prostitute and drug addict. Fiona knows no moral boundaries. Sleeping with men and women alike she is an equally passionate lover and killer. Unknown to either, she meets her own mother and spends a night with her. When Fiona is caught shop-lifting and shot in the process, her plans of leaving the city for good go up in smoke. Shot on handheld camera with streetwalkers in a crack house, Kollek expertly juxtaposes radical East Village reality with his own staged scenes. The film paints an authentic picture of a social environment caught up between raw violence and intense tenderness. In these extraordinarily direct and intimate scenes Anna Thomson transcends the boundaries of acting, a veritable tour de force for actress and audience alike. Rarely has harsh New York reality been portrayed as relentlessly.
