Daddy
2011
Overview
\"DADDY,\" which may turn out to be the most controversial of the New Directors Series at the Museum of Modern Art (although advance rumors that \"Men hate it, women love it\" always make me want to join the other team) is a three- part fantasy in which Niki de St. Phalle as Agnes I, and the two girls who play the snaggle- tooth moppet Agnes II and the convent- chaste Lolita Agnes III, expose, abuse, tantalize, torture, and finally fling their collective arms around the memory of a father who in life alternated between indifference to and lust for his daughter, but who has finally shaped her emotional pattern as inalterably as Fate. First (or, as they kept saying on the Academy Awards, firstly) Agnes I has adolescent Agnes shimmy and slowly remove her schoolgirl frock in front of an altar, the centerpiece of a church that is actually a bar, with mirror- top tables and leering playboys. Village Voice 1973 Daddy Revisited, 2011 The Peter Whitehead- Niki de Saint Phalle fantasia of Oedipal revenge still looks as uneven as it did in 1973, when it played at the Museum of Modern Art, New Director Series: a provocative if narrowly personal send- up of an abusing father and the droit du seigneur of God- inspired patriarchy.
