Oh Rapunzel

Oh Rapunzel is a fairy tale wrapped around a documentary. Set on the grounds of a decaying estate in Philadelphia, the video documents the life of 80 year old Annie Lloyd Condit, a descendant of what was once one of the great families of Pennsylvania and the mother of the video artist. Revising the classic tale and dumping the prince, Cecilia Condit and her collaborator Dick Blau restage the old woman’s life, giving it a happy ending which comes true.
