About – Spoilers:
Developed by sculptor Niki de St. Phalle with director Whitehead over a couple of years, Daddy is partly based on her own life. An initial version was shot with Niki playing a 12-year-old, but this was later changed when all concerned felt it wasn’t working.

Plot – A woman looks back on childhood abuse and her twisted relationship with her father. There are recreated fantasies of revenge and dominance and a belief she is free of him, until it dawns that she is not.

Random:
The little girl featured in the controversial scene was the daughter of Clarice Mary (who played Mummy); Clarice and Niki were lovers at the time and Rainer von Dietz (Daddy) was also an ex of Niki. So you’d assume due care was taken during filming.

I don’t know what she’s complaining about, her mother seemed a lot worse than her father. In fact he’s the only one I had any empathy for, putting up with those ugly, treacherous bitches.

I was familiar with Whitehead from his work with Pink Floyd, before this movie by about 6 or seven years. Interesting juxtapose, with the weird revenge theme and pre rockstar documentary. Mtv has some funny roots.
