Daddy

1973·Drama·1h 30m
7.1
★
Daddy, filmed in cooperation with movie director Peter Whitehead, discovers the connection between a father and little girl. Like the majority of Niki De Saint Phalle’s films, the flick combines autobiography with imagination, mixing erotic scenes of incest with a reverse of energy as the female character humors the daddy figure. Saint Phalle narrates the film, offering an almost psycho-analytical explanation of its content and explains the different inexplicable.
Directed by Peter Whitehead and Niki de Saint Phalle

as disturbing this may come to others, I truly understood why they made it this way, the fact that the father do it while blindfolded but also has seen through her like yk that "pool scene" I immediately thought that was unnecessary but again, the meaning and the thought was there so it's kinda yk

what it lacked tho was the subtlety within it, it just go through the sexploitation and I mean I'm not complaining because it turned out well but, I guess I just want more substance, rather than focusing on this one thing only but golly this is not for everyone for sure likee damn

A critique on Freud's psychosexual development and childhood trauma. Depicted through eery incestuous scenes. Pretty dark worth a watch with that in mind.

Daddy issues ALWAYS been around huh

Beautiful, artistic and raw retelling of childhood. i don’t know if id ever recommend this to someone, but there’s so much depth to it. Truly a beautiful work of art to be added to Niki de saint phalles portfolio. She was an amazing artist.
