A Fine State This Is

Synopsis

Insightful digital portrait of artist Fargo Deborah Whitman, who has "dissociative personality disorder" (formerly called "multiple personality disorder"). Whitman provides an intimate glimpse into many of her various personae (a young child named Genie; 18 year-old Anton; Gibbon; Meticulous; and others), and director Chandler has shown great sensitivity to her extraordinary subject, and the film is by turns startling, shocking, and inspiring.
