Mommy Dead and Dearest

In this documentary, the murder of Deedee Blanchard by her daughter Gypsy Rose is explored, as well as the circumstances leading up to the event.

Details

Mommy Dead and Dearest is a gripping documentary that delves into the shocking murder of Deedee Blanchard by her own daughter, Gypsey Rose. However, the film does not stop at the crime itself, as it also explores the twisted circumstances that led to this tragic event. Directed by Erin Lee Carr, this documentary provides a disturbing yet captivating account of a story that defies belief.

The film begins by introducing viewers to the seemingly-loving relationship between Deedee and Gypsey Rose, who suffered from a range of severe medical conditions that required her to use a wheelchair and rely on her mother's care. As details emerge, though, it becomes apparent that not everything is as it seems. Slowly, the documentary uncovers a web of deceit, manipulation, and abuse that ultimately culminated in a brutal act of violence.

Through interviews with friends, family, and experts, Mommy Dead and Dearest pieces together the disturbing truth about Deedee and Gypsey Rose's lives. The film explores the concept of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a psychological disorder in which a caregiver induces or fabricates illness in another person for personal gain. This disorder sheds light on the twisted dynamics at play within their relationship.

Mommy Dead and Dearest presents an unsettling examination of a true crime story that will leave viewers questioning the lengths some people will go for their own self-interest. This gripping documentary sheds light on a case that shocked the nation, and offers a thought-provoking exploration of the dark side of human nature.

Hemligheten 1982

About the problems and questions that arise when a young person becomes an adult, what occupies his thoughts, what is important in meetings with other people, how he searches for his own place in life, how he handles the meeting with love and the person who becomes the most important there. When the film is shot, the rock singer Hasse is 24 years old; he lives in Stockholm. The camera follows him through his days, to the rock club, to the stage, to meetings with friends, parents and girls. He meets Johanna, who is 16, and what is called infatuation, eventually love, arises. How does Hasse now create a place for himself in life, how do they build up their community? Both are big-city children, raised in welfare Sweden, which perhaps no longer provides welfare but has created an emptiness, a meaninglessness.
