Our take

Resurfacing the historical figure of Calamity Jane through excerpts of films and letters she wrote to her daughter, Calamity Who? also raises possible parallels between the American legend and actress Christine Boisson. Even if short, this film evokes many ideas on history, cinema, and identity.
