| Beskrivelse:
In 1991, Nick Broomfield made Aileen Wuornos - The Selling of a Serial Killer. Aileen's lawyer, her born again Christian mother and the Florida state police had all been involved in trying to sell her story, that of America's first female serial killer, to the highest bidder. Aileen herself, who was convicted of murdering seven men, ironically emerged as the most honest person.
Aileen and Nick kept in touch, writing occasionally until 2002 when he was served with a subpoena to appear at her final state appeal before execution. It was at this point that Broomfield and longtime collaborator Joan Churchill, then still working on Biggie & Tupac, decided to make a second film about Aileen.
Aileen - Life & Death Of A Serial Killer looks at Aileen's violent, tortured childhood in Troy, Michigan and her subsequent years on the road as a hitch-hiking prostitute which culminated in the murders. In her last interview, conducted by Broomfield at Aileen's request, she said she believed her mind was controlled by radio waves. on October 9th 2002 she was executed in Florida.
Shot entirely by Broomfield and Churchill, longtime collaborators who worked together on the acclaimed Kurt & Courtney, the film provides a disturbing and humane insight into the mind of a deeply paranoid yet sympathetic person. Together for the first time on DVD, these two films form a powerful statement against the death penalty, raising serious questions abut the US legal system and the political impetus behind Aileen's execution. Both films were used by Charlize Theron as the basis of her Oscar-winning performances as Aileen in Monster. The packed disc also features the trailer for Monster and an exclusive interview with Broomfield about his experiences when making these two extraordinary films. |
