Committed

"Committed" is the powerful story of of film starlet/leftist iconoclast Frances Farmer. In 1935 Farmer was an overnight Hollywood sensation; within ten years she was in a state mental hospital. From stardom, to a locked ward, to a lobotomy, thi highly stylized film reconstructs a compelling and many-layered look at the life and repression of this culturally defiant woman. "Committed" goes beyond the personal story to explore teh political and social attitudes of the 1930's.
