Su Friedrich has taken up the camera again in her ongoing quest to film the battleground of family life. Her mother Lore—who played the lead in The Ties That Bind (1984), a film about her experiences growing up in Germany during the Second World War—plays the lead again, this time kicking and protesting against being moved at the age of 94 from her home in Chicago.
Su and her two siblings fill out the supporting roles, cajoling, comforting, and freaking out, but they cannot deny that their mother is no longer able to care for herself. Lore has severe memory loss and is convinced that her doorman has been robbing her. She often asks Su the same question repeatedly and cannot remember what she ate for breakfast. In an effort for Su and her siblings to be closer to her, they move her from her home of 50 years to an “independent living” facility in Long Island, New York.
I Cannot Tell You How I Feel is heartfelt examination of growing old in today’s society, and the responsibility of adult children to their parents.
"By candidly confronting personal struggles, Friedrich’s films invite reflections on broader, often universal concerns. This is again the case with her latest, I Cannot Tell You How I Feel, which offers a moving, tragic, frequently funny, and profoundly empathetic consideration of mortality and filial responsibility." —Giovanni Marchini Camia, Fandor
"There’s been a recent, very interesting micro-trend among female experimental filmmakers. In the past few years, we’ve seen films by Chantal Akerman (No Home Movie) and Beth B (Call Her Applebroog) that see each filmmaker dealing with her relationship with her aging mother, and how her mother’s past reflects upon the director’s present. Su Friedrich’s I Cannot Tell You How I Feel is a thoughtful, richly felt addition to the genre." —Dana Reinoos, Screen Slate
"I can tell you how I feel about I Cannot Tell You How I Feel: it is aesthetically unpretentious, ethically adult, and carefully crafted — and precisely as long as it should be. Its candidness about dealing with aging relatives is an engaging antidote to the usual myths, cartoons, and melodramas about aging so common in movies and on television. As participant director and narrator (in both voice-over and visual text), Friedrich is by turns wryly good-humored, self-involved and self-aware, pained, frustrated, and compassionate. For those who remember The Ties That Bind (1984), Friedrich’s breakthrough film about her mother growing up as an anti-Nazi German in the 1930s and 1940s, watching the feisty Lore Friedrich deal with moving to the strange new world of assisted living has particular poignancy." —Scott MacDonald, author of 'Avant-Doc: Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema'

00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:07.499
The confusion of all...
00:00:07.499 --> 00:00:08.167
I know.
00:00:08.167 --> 00:00:10.499
Oh, it\'s...
00:00:12.125 --> 00:00:13.917
I don\'t even know when...
00:00:13.917 --> 00:00:18.875
I mean, I\'m supposed
to leave with Maria today.
00:00:18.875 --> 00:00:20.125
-Yeah.
-Isn\'t that it?
00:00:20.125 --> 00:00:21.958
Were you gonna do your nails?
00:00:21.958 --> 00:00:22.499
What?
00:00:22.499 --> 00:00:25.042
Were you gonna do your nails?
00:00:25.499 --> 00:00:28.833
No, I--I just got--
took my--my--
00:00:28.833 --> 00:00:30.083
Your eye drops, yeah.
00:00:30.083 --> 00:00:35.625
I took my bath and washed--
washed my hair.
00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:40.791
I--I--I cannot tell you
how I feel.
00:00:42.917 --> 00:00:45.833
It\'s just--it\'s just--
00:00:45.833 --> 00:00:49.499
I just can\'t believe
what\'s happening.
00:00:49.499 --> 00:00:50.499
Right.
00:00:50.499 --> 00:00:53.500
And--and it\'s just killing me.
00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:55.499
Yeah.
00:00:55.499 --> 00:00:58.167
I mean, literally.
00:00:58.167 --> 00:00:59.500
I hope I survive it.
00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:01.499
You\'re going to survive it.
00:01:01.499 --> 00:01:03.042
No, I mean,
you know, mentally.
00:01:03.042 --> 00:01:05.500
You\'re going to survive it
mentally.
00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:08.500
You\'re gonna survive it
mentally.
00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:09.499
You are.
00:01:09.499 --> 00:01:13.541
See, and this is who you\'re
gonna see at the airport.
00:01:13.541 --> 00:01:17.292
And this is who you might be
seeing for dinner tonight.
00:01:17.292 --> 00:01:18.499
Tonight!
00:01:18.499 --> 00:01:19.334
-Okay.
-Okay?
00:01:19.334 --> 00:01:20.083
-All right.
-You like your--
00:01:20.083 --> 00:01:22.625
Bye, plant.
Bye, everything.
00:01:22.625 --> 00:01:23.250
Bye, everything.
00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:24.334
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye.
00:01:24.334 --> 00:01:25.499
We\'ll see a lot of it again.
00:01:25.499 --> 00:01:26.708
This is your purse.
00:01:26.708 --> 00:01:27.541
He\'s waiting for you.
00:01:27.541 --> 00:01:28.875
Here\'s your purse.
00:01:28.875 --> 00:01:32.167
You gotta get
the New York accent, okay?
00:01:32.167 --> 00:01:33.083
(laughs)
00:01:33.083 --> 00:01:34.541

00:01:34.541 --> 00:01:36.417

I know,
they\'re terrible that way.
00:03:07.833 --> 00:03:10.499
You just have
to try to see it.
00:03:10.499 --> 00:03:12.375
They\'re terrible.
00:03:18.875 --> 00:03:21.334
I don\'t know, Suzie.
00:03:21.334 --> 00:03:22.833
Well, just do your best.
00:03:23.541 --> 00:03:25.499
I--I wouldn\'t know
how to do it.
00:03:25.499 --> 00:03:27.666
Just point it
in the general direction
00:03:27.666 --> 00:03:28.833
and take a picture.
00:03:28.833 --> 00:03:31.292
It\'ll probably be fine.
00:03:34.459 --> 00:03:35.750
Okay, I pressed it.
00:03:35.750 --> 00:03:36.541
Okay, do it a few more times.
00:03:36.541 --> 00:03:41.499
That way you\'ll get lucky
and one of them will work out.
00:03:41.499 --> 00:03:44.000
I can see you sitting there.
00:03:45.459 --> 00:03:47.958
Shall I press once more?
00:04:06.708 --> 00:04:07.750
What is that?
00:04:07.750 --> 00:04:09.499
I\'m just--I\'m just
holding it up.
00:04:09.499 --> 00:04:12.042
Now we can see
whether it worked out.
00:04:12.042 --> 00:04:15.583
And here\'s the picture
that that woman took of us.
00:04:16.499 --> 00:04:17.334
Of the what?
00:04:17.334 --> 00:04:20.334
The picture that
the woman took of us.
00:04:20.875 --> 00:04:23.541
You know? Remember the woman
who took the picture of us?
00:04:23.541 --> 00:04:25.958
Yeah, I know,
but I can\'t see it.
00:04:25.958 --> 00:04:29.459
It\'s too dark for my--
it\'s not...
00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:30.499
Uh-huh.
00:04:30.499 --> 00:04:33.334
A little--I can see
a little bit of it,
00:04:33.334 --> 00:04:37.791
but not--not...not much.
00:04:37.791 --> 00:04:40.083
So, I will have to see it
when you--
00:04:40.083 --> 00:04:43.334
when you have it developed,
you know?
00:04:43.334 --> 00:04:44.499
Yeah.
00:04:50.125 --> 00:05:00.459
♪
00:05:30.666 --> 00:05:32.666
So it\'s a beautiful morning
00:05:32.666 --> 00:05:35.917
out on Long Island
visiting friends,
00:05:35.917 --> 00:05:37.499
and I see this cornfield.
00:05:37.499 --> 00:05:39.958
And, well,
first I think about
00:05:39.958 --> 00:05:42.625
going to the farmer\'s market
in Manhattan,
00:05:42.625 --> 00:05:46.334
and I\'m looking
at the corn and thinking,
00:05:46.334 --> 00:05:51.167
\"It\'s so perfect,
I wonder if it\'s GMO corn.\"
00:05:51.167 --> 00:05:53.459
Which, fuck...
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.334
It\'s so depressing.
00:05:56.625 --> 00:06:00.499
But then I think
about how my mother,
00:06:00.499 --> 00:06:01.499
no matter what,
00:06:01.499 --> 00:06:04.250
finds the really
horrifying thing.
00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:06.209
It doesn\'t matter
what you\'re doing.
00:06:06.209 --> 00:06:09.459
She\'ll say, \"Well, you know,
a lot of people drown here.
00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:12.499
Well, you could
break your leg.
00:06:12.499 --> 00:06:14.833
You could--\" whatever.
00:06:14.833 --> 00:06:18.499
And, uh, the more I\'m around her
with all this stuff,
00:06:18.499 --> 00:06:22.250
the more it\'s fucking
up in my face all the time
00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:26.708
about taking on the kinds
of things that she did,
00:06:26.708 --> 00:06:29.499
\'cause, guess what,
I\'m her daughter.
00:06:29.499 --> 00:06:30.875
Ay-yi-yi.
00:06:32.042 --> 00:06:34.499
(bomb whistling)
00:06:41.499 --> 00:06:43.083
(explosion)
00:06:43.083 --> 00:06:45.499
(bomb whistling)
00:06:46.499 --> 00:06:47.750
(explosion)
00:06:53.625 --> 00:06:54.499
You know, the thing is,
00:06:54.499 --> 00:06:57.250
there are all kinds of reasons
for her to be the way she is,
00:06:57.250 --> 00:06:59.499
but that means
she\'s actually somebody
00:06:59.499 --> 00:07:01.750
I don\'t enjoy being around,
00:07:01.750 --> 00:07:04.000
and the idea
of her being here,
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.833
being so nearby,
having to see her all the time,
00:07:06.833 --> 00:07:08.042
totally freaks me out.
00:07:08.042 --> 00:07:10.000
I really don\'t want that.
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.334
And she doesn\'t want to move.
00:07:12.334 --> 00:07:14.875
There\'s no way she wants
to leave Chicago,
00:07:14.875 --> 00:07:16.583
but what she doesn\'t realize
00:07:16.583 --> 00:07:21.334
is that she has left us
with no choice.
00:07:21.334 --> 00:07:22.499
(beep)
00:07:22.499 --> 00:07:24.209
Hi, Suzie.
00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:26.541
(beep)
00:07:26.541 --> 00:07:28.541
Hi, Suzie.
00:07:30.167 --> 00:07:31.334
(beep)
00:07:31.334 --> 00:07:33.417
Hi, Suzie.
00:07:34.375 --> 00:07:36.583
(beeping)
00:07:42.625 --> 00:07:43.833
Su, this is Mom.
00:07:43.833 --> 00:07:49.417
I don\'t think I have ever,
ever felt so insulted.
00:07:49.417 --> 00:07:52.083
When I got your letter
telling me
00:07:52.083 --> 00:07:55.292
about what I am
supposedly be doing
00:07:55.292 --> 00:07:59.459
in this building, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:59.459 --> 00:08:01.875
You would--
if you would just only
00:08:01.875 --> 00:08:05.292
call me and ask me
what I do really
00:08:05.292 --> 00:08:08.583
in this building
and what others do to me,
00:08:08.583 --> 00:08:11.625
that would have been
the thing to do.
00:08:11.625 --> 00:08:14.958
I told you I am mad as hell.
00:08:21.958 --> 00:08:23.000
Well, the one--
the one thing
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.499
which still angers me
beyond belief...
00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:32.666
...is that this woman in
our building called Peter
00:08:32.666 --> 00:08:35.583
and lied to him--Peter.
00:08:35.583 --> 00:08:40.499
And I did not know that she lied
to Peter until later,
00:08:40.499 --> 00:08:46.125
because I never, ever, ever
said to her or anybody
00:08:46.125 --> 00:08:50.083
that the doorman
came into my apartment
00:08:50.083 --> 00:08:50.625
and stole things.
00:08:50.625 --> 00:08:56.042
What I knew--what I said was
that one of the doormen
00:08:56.042 --> 00:09:01.083
had two things
that were in my apartment
00:09:01.083 --> 00:09:04.958
-because I saw it, okay?
-Uh-huh.
00:09:04.958 --> 00:09:06.541
On his head, namely,
00:09:06.541 --> 00:09:12.292
the handle of the lovely red
photo purse
00:09:12.292 --> 00:09:13.375
in which I ought--
00:09:13.375 --> 00:09:17.250
the photo album which
Asa had put together for me
00:09:17.250 --> 00:09:19.083
of my 92nd birthday.
00:09:19.083 --> 00:09:21.083
That was in
that little purse,
00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:23.583
and that little purse
was on his head,
00:09:23.583 --> 00:09:29.541
and on his head was
a bowl of hot soup, okay?
00:09:29.541 --> 00:09:32.499
He used that as a--
as a--as a--
00:09:32.499 --> 00:09:33.625
for a--on his--
00:09:33.625 --> 00:09:37.791
He used it as a--as a--
a safety reason, you know,
00:09:37.791 --> 00:09:39.250
because the soup was hot
00:09:39.250 --> 00:09:42.125
and he wanted to carry
the soup on his head.
00:09:42.125 --> 00:09:44.499
That is what I--
that is why I knew
00:09:44.499 --> 00:09:46.499
that he was
in my apartment
00:09:46.499 --> 00:09:49.334
because he had
that little purse
00:09:49.334 --> 00:09:53.209
and all the pictures
that Asa took for my--
00:09:53.209 --> 00:09:55.917
for my--for my birthday party.
00:09:55.917 --> 00:09:59.292
And he claimed, \"No, no, no,
I don\'t have it, no.\"
00:09:59.292 --> 00:10:02.958
I said, \"I saw it,\" okay?
00:10:02.958 --> 00:10:03.917
And then she,
00:10:03.917 --> 00:10:08.459
the so-called new director
of the--of the...
00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:10.499
...of the--of the board,
00:10:10.499 --> 00:10:13.499
called Peter and said
that I am lying,
00:10:13.499 --> 00:10:19.209
that I am saying doorman
steal out of my apartment.
00:10:19.209 --> 00:10:21.499
That\'s the way
she put it to him.
00:10:21.499 --> 00:10:23.417
I mean, you know,
the whole thing.
00:10:23.417 --> 00:10:25.292
I could have gotten her
in the court
00:10:25.292 --> 00:10:31.417
and sued her out of her pants
for what she has done to me.
00:10:31.417 --> 00:10:34.583
And that\'s what I would
have liked to do.
00:10:36.167 --> 00:10:41.083
And that\'s the true story
about my coming here.
00:10:50.167 --> 00:10:51.167
Growing up,
00:10:51.167 --> 00:10:53.666
it was always like this
with the milky light,
00:10:53.666 --> 00:10:54.499
so she was always really good
00:10:54.499 --> 00:10:56.499
at keeping the windows
closed in the summer
00:10:56.499 --> 00:10:58.499
and the shades down
so that it would stay cool,
00:10:58.499 --> 00:11:01.250
and it actually does stay cool
but then you just feel
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:05.499
sort of claustrophobic
with this like sheer curtain
00:11:05.499 --> 00:11:09.167
and the blinds
and the milky light,
00:11:09.167 --> 00:11:12.334
which I guess is why,
I don\'t know,
00:11:12.334 --> 00:11:14.750
I like the sunshine.
00:11:16.625 --> 00:11:19.499
It\'s a strange family.
00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:26.499
Well...well, I mean,
00:11:26.499 --> 00:11:29.083
I think it was partly
a strange family
00:11:29.083 --> 00:11:31.499
because of Amelia dying.
00:11:31.499 --> 00:11:35.417
You know, I don\'t think
they ever got over that.
00:11:35.417 --> 00:11:35.875
What was that?
00:11:35.875 --> 00:11:40.875
I think they were a strange
family because of Amelia dying.
00:11:40.875 --> 00:11:41.499
Amelia.
00:11:41.499 --> 00:11:44.958
Yeah, their daughter
who drowned.
00:11:46.334 --> 00:11:49.583
I forgot all about that.
00:11:50.666 --> 00:11:53.167
Oh, Amelia was...
00:11:53.167 --> 00:11:54.750
She was the eldest girl.
00:11:54.750 --> 00:11:58.499
So she was like 10
and she drowned.
00:11:58.499 --> 00:12:00.833
-And so...
-That\'s right, oh, my--
00:12:00.833 --> 00:12:03.499
in the swimming pool
up in Concord.
00:12:03.499 --> 00:12:04.209
Yeah, that was horrible.
00:12:04.209 --> 00:12:07.499
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
now I remember.
00:12:07.499 --> 00:12:08.250
Yeah.
00:12:08.250 --> 00:12:10.499
I don\'t think
they ever got over that.
00:12:10.499 --> 00:12:12.750
No, you\'re right.
00:12:12.750 --> 00:12:14.499
And that\'s why
the swimming pool
00:12:14.499 --> 00:12:17.334
was never filled again.
00:12:17.334 --> 00:12:19.334
Ah, God.
00:12:20.417 --> 00:12:21.499
But it was Amelia,
of course,
00:12:21.499 --> 00:12:23.500
who made the mistake
because she was running
00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:25.500
like mad
and it was a very hot day
00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:30.000
and jumping into that
ice cold pool, you know?
00:12:46.666 --> 00:12:48.875
Oh, God.
00:12:51.833 --> 00:12:54.083
Fascinating family.
00:12:54.083 --> 00:12:56.250
No question about it.
00:12:56.250 --> 00:12:58.750

some ice cream?

Uh-huh.

No, I mean,
I\'m--I\'m sort of happy
00:25:26.334 --> 00:25:28.499
that I can do
what I\'m doing,
00:25:28.499 --> 00:25:31.209
especially with you coming,
you know?
00:25:31.209 --> 00:25:32.499
I don\'t have
to sit at home
00:25:32.499 --> 00:25:34.292

to worry about me
00:25:34.292 --> 00:25:35.499
and you can\'t go anywhere.
00:25:35.499 --> 00:25:38.334
We can go and go
to the lake and go--
00:25:38.334 --> 00:25:40.499
-go wherever we want to go.
-Oh, I know.
00:25:40.499 --> 00:25:43.083
And that\'s why I said yesterday
with the--with the movie,
00:25:43.083 --> 00:25:46.791
I don\'t want to go in the cab,
I want to walk.
00:25:47.583 --> 00:25:48.958
Yeah.
00:25:50.625 --> 00:25:54.666
Oh the treasure this lake is...my God.
00:25:56.375 --> 00:25:58.000
Oh the treasure, right?
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.209
It\'s really amazing.
00:26:00.541 --> 00:26:01.958
Well, I\'m feeling
a little bit hungry.
00:26:01.958 --> 00:26:03.292
I almost feel
like walking up--
00:26:03.292 --> 00:26:06.459
Well, then let\'s go and get
something to eat somewhere.
00:26:06.459 --> 00:26:09.083
-Okay.
-Okay.
00:26:09.083 --> 00:26:12.125
Let\'s feed a few more pigeons.
00:26:12.125 --> 00:26:12.917

00:26:12.917 --> 00:26:16.209
They\'re probably
on the other side.
00:26:33.042 --> 00:26:36.958
I never in my life thought
that I would live that long.
00:26:36.958 --> 00:26:39.167
Never, never.
00:26:39.167 --> 00:26:40.917
Because I lost
my mother early,
00:26:40.917 --> 00:26:44.334
I lost my father early.
00:26:44.334 --> 00:26:46.292
My older sister,
00:26:46.292 --> 00:26:47.499
my other sister.
00:26:47.499 --> 00:26:48.541
You know, they\'re all gone.
00:26:48.541 --> 00:26:51.708
I\'m the only surviving
of this family.
00:26:51.708 --> 00:26:55.791
And I\'ve often wondered,
my God, why am I--
00:26:55.791 --> 00:26:56.833
you know, why, why, why?
00:26:56.833 --> 00:26:59.375
But probably because
I have been living, you know,
00:26:59.375 --> 00:27:02.791
from the point of view
of eating, very normal life,
00:27:02.791 --> 00:27:04.625
and was very careful
00:27:04.625 --> 00:27:09.042
that I was keeping it
in perspective.
00:27:17.125 --> 00:27:18.499
Beautiful.
00:27:18.499 --> 00:27:19.499
It sure is.
00:27:19.499 --> 00:27:24.708

I can\'t go swimming.

00:27:43.459 --> 00:27:45.125
You know, the odd thing
about it is, like,
00:27:45.125 --> 00:27:49.499
when we came to look
at this place, you know,
00:27:49.499 --> 00:27:51.083
we saw this pool
and we thought,
00:27:51.083 --> 00:27:53.499
\"What a phenomenal pool.\"
00:27:53.499 --> 00:27:55.499
Plus the indoor pool.
00:27:55.499 --> 00:27:56.167
And, uh, you know,
00:27:56.167 --> 00:27:57.499
since you\'ve always been
such a swimmer,
00:27:57.499 --> 00:27:59.833
we thought
it would be so great.
00:27:59.833 --> 00:28:02.083
And, um, you know,
it seems like
00:28:02.083 --> 00:28:03.499
maybe you\'re not
so interested in swimming
00:28:03.499 --> 00:28:05.791
or you don\'t feel well enough
for it or something,
00:28:05.791 --> 00:28:08.209

00:28:08.209 --> 00:28:10.541
