Aro Recommended Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer

 

USA 2003, 90 minutes
Dir. Nick Broomfield, Joan Churchill
Rating: [R]
Genres: Documentary / Serial Killers

 

Aroview: A compelling 'sequel' to the renowned documentary on the case of Aileen Wuornos, once touted as the world's first 'female serial killer'.

Ten years after dir. Broomfield cast doubt onto the ethics of Wuornos' conviction over a series of roadside murders in the 1980s, events have dramatically shifted. No longer fighting for a stay of execution, Wuornos appeals to the British documentarian to speed up the agonising death row process. With the previous film being presented as courtroom evidence, the layers of moral irony are deepened in a bizarrely unexpected way.

More than just a sensational narrative, Broomfield's film presents a humane and disturbing perspective on a notorious case of American jurisprudence.
