Sara's Sick Too

About This Movie

Sara's Sick Too is this intriguing short that dives back into the life of Sara, who shares her struggle with cystic fibrosis, just like Bob, who we met in Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist. The atmosphere is a mix of raw intimacy and stark reality, making you reflect on the fragility of life. The pacing is deliberate, letting you soak in the moments of connection and isolation. While the director remains unknown, there's a haunting quality to the performances that lingers. It’s distinctive for its candid approach to illness, not shying away from the harder truths but also celebrating the small joys in life. This film feels like a personal conversation, resonating with anyone who's faced challenges head-on.

Sara's Sick Too has maintained a certain obscurity, which only adds to its allure for collectors. It hasn't seen extensive format releases, making original copies quite sought after. The short film's connection to Bob Flanagan's narrative adds an extra layer of interest, especially for those who appreciate the intersection of art and lived experience. Its rarity and thematic depth make it a compelling piece for anyone delving into the complexities of illness and resilience.
