The thought that she's been enduring this, all while making a film about contagious fear, is really something.Sounds like there's email proof that he's a violent, shitty dude. These things are tough to read about someone whose art you've championed over the years. This certainly adds some context to what were (in hindsight) years of strange behavior that were always written off as the necessary quirks of a genius auteur at work. A little extra light enters the fray and all of a sudden the water looks awfully murky. One less weed in the flower garden I guess. I'd implore any Carruth fans to forgo watching Primer for the 20th (or in my case, 50th) time, and instead watch Seimetz's new film, She Dies Tomorrow. The buzz is incredible and, by all accounts, that's a few bucks you won't regret spending.
I wasn't really familiar with the premise of the film yesterday when I was asking the questions above; now I can imagine that she probably wants it to stand on its own merits and not have it viewed the prism of what's been happening in her personal life. But man, that's difficult to ignore, once you know.
