Daddy
1973, NR, 90 min.
Directed by Peter Whitehead, Nikki de St. Phalle, Starring de St. Phalle, Mia Martin.

Co-made with artist Nikki de St. Phalle, the film is a gothic and surreal rant about a woman’s attempts to exorcise the influence of her sexually domineering father. The Alamo bills this one with a warning that it’s “perverted” – so you’ve been warned. The series is co-sponsored by the Austin Film Society.
