Julia Sweeney USA, 1997, 85 mins.
Producer: Rana Joy Glickman Did you ever have one of those days? Julia Sweeney ("Pat" from Saturday Night Live) had one of those years, triumphantly surviving to tell about it in this hilarious, heartbreaking film of her acclaimed solo stage show, God Said, "Ha!" Sweeney was recently divorced and settling into her expensive dream house when her ailing brother and worried parents moved in. This was just the beginning. Sweeney soon found out that she would have to deal with her own illness-a rare form of cervical cancer. Impersonating her family members with loving but razor - sharp precision and chronicling her mind-boggling encounters with the medical establishment, Sweeney proves herself a powerful dramatic and comic performer in this inti-mate, straightforward recording of her show. The film was financed entirely by executive producer Quentin Tarantino. - David Schwartz |
