DocumentaryThis Dust of Words Starring: Elizabeth Wiltsee
Stanford professor ponders the life and death of a former student.
Thirty years after he last saw her, Stanford English professor John Felstiner finds wonder and mystery in the life of a former student, and in her death. Bill Rose's haunting film of intense local interest has a pace and lyrical quality seldom encountered in the documentary form. Elizabeth Wiltsee was a brilliant and beautiful student who matured into an eccentric, troubled woman. A meditation on the aspirations of our country's most elite institutions, and their shortcomings too-often intensified by the realities of modern society.
