New on Nerve, 12.6.2007: Commentary on “Flying”, a documentary by Jennifer Fox

Posted by Sarah

 

Don’t miss this dialogue between Ada Calhoun and Sarah Hepola about Flying, Jennifer Fox’s six-hour film about modern womanhood. Sarah and Ada didn’t like the film very much; read the piece for their intelligent, humorous, biting critique.

Sarah: “This documentary purports to be about feminism but seems to be shockingly ignorant of the entire canon of feminist literature. It’s a personal diary with very expensive, travelogue scenery.”

Ada: “Basically, she's going around the world finding the worst situations and saying, ‘Me too!’”

Sarah: “I begin to wonder, maybe narcissism is a part of the modern American female experience.”
