Last Words – My Sister Joke (1935-1997)

Last Words - My Sister Joke (1935-1997)

Johan van der Keuken | Netherlands | 1998 | 51' | | IFFR 1999

A very personal portrait of the sister of the film-maker, shortly before she died of cancer. Penetrating and intimate conversations were shot with a digital video camera. This medium, also new for the film-maker, made it possible for him to record the talks in their entirety, spontaneously and without much productional preparations. In the editing, the original mood and the duration of the shots has been respected.
