Discovering the secret life of a fugitive, Theresa Rose Grosso.
|
Testimonial:
"i had a chance to see your terrific film "desert rose." i found it quite self-assured, beautifully shot and uniquely stylized -- part road movie, part investigative journalism -- a curious mix of personal portraits, both of theresa and of you. theresa's new age (healing) spirit hovers through and over the open new mexico landscapes and quirky characters you visit; at the same time, her psychological complexity as fugitive, bisexual lover, convicted murderer, and combustible personality balance the equation... you did a wonderful job. bravo."
