nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Marsha Norman, Night mother, 1983
Aufgenommen in die Epilepsie-Filmographie von Kerson, Toba et al.: Implacable Images: Why Epileptiform Events Continue to be Featured in Film and Television, "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16793571"
from Toba Kerson's notes: Jessie tells her mother to call them seizures, not fits. Mother says they are seizures in the hospital, fits at home. The longest, which I think is the 3rd begins in the kitchen. Anne Bancroft is in the kitchen and Jessie is still at the washing machine. “I think that your Daddy had little fits too. I think he sat in his chair and had little fits . . .little black-outs when their eyes don’t even close. It’s a long clip. Ends with Jessie saying to her mother, it’s just a sickness, not a curse. Epilepsy just is. |
