CGiii Comment

Read the blurb...

This is an intense experience. For too many people, suicide is a constant companion...to many, that companionship is incomprehensible. Steve Sanguedolce has tried [and partially succeeded] in highlighting the demons that some people carry around with them.

It's a challenging film...and, it's a sad film.

The(ir) Blurb...

In this bold new experimental documentary by Toronto's Steve Sanguedolce, four artists talk about suicide: the role the recurring thought has played in their life and art, the struggle to understand and overcome the impulse, and the ongoing confrontation with a form of stigma that renders the very concept of suicide as a kind of pariah even among mental health issues and discussions. With a frankness that is both bracing and illuminating, Sanguedolce's subjects tell their stories, and the filmmaker responds with a striking visual scheme that permits us something rarely attempted in the engagement with this most misunderstood of conditions: a sense of first person understanding.
