Reviews
“The film deals primarily with the film diva Gena Rowlands and is a definite monument to her. The concept of the film is very profound from an artistic point of view due to a difficult montage process, because the second level is about telephone calls with the director's mother, who, through the use of split screens in the embodiment of the diva, cleverly leaves behind alienated impressions. The constant annoying ringing of the telephone in combination with scraps of dialogue creates an extremely dense atmosphere. "
