Sue

Sue - Eine Frau in New York
Directed by
1997

Sue is in her mid thirties. She came to New York at some point and drifts through this city with the somnambulistic charisma of a person who would never harm a flie, and would hardly rebel against his fate. Good-looking, sexy, "educated", she is looking for jobs, girlfriends and lovers. She finds all of this temporarily - then she loses it again. As she wanders through the city as if in a trance, repeatedly making brief, fleeting touches, she loses contact with the outside world more and more. (Festivali nformation, Viennale)

In this impressive portrait of an unemployed New Yorker, a woman becomes more and more alienated and finally expires in her loneliness. Told without indulgence or melodrama, the film follows the desperate search for love and company in a large city.
