Crazy Sexy Cancer
CRAZY SEXY CANCER – DVD MovieUntil 2003, Kris Carr’s life resembled that of many other New York actresses. The attractive blonde acted in commercials, appeared in theatrical revues, and guested on programs like Law & Order. With she was diagnosed with cancer of the vascular system, Carr chose to document the encounter (she has also written a book, Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor). This isn’t how most people would react, especially if told that conventional treatments aren’t likely to help. With the support of her friends and family, Carr becomes “a full-time healing junkie.” For this TLC documentary, she also interviews fellow cancer survivors, like redheaded sisters Erin Zammett Ruddy and Melissa Gonzalez, African-American playwright Oni Faidah Lampley, and pink wigged tour manager Jackie Farry. While Carr buys a New Age mind-set (she digs the word “groovy”), Farry advances a punk-rock approach (her motto is “f— cancer”). Carr may exhibit greater acceptance of her condition, but Farry’s rage seems like the more logical response. Further, Carr’s optimism is admirable, but maybe unrealistic for those without her support system or insurance benefits (Plus, she never looks sick and cascade in like with her camera man during filming). Nonetheless, her sometimes risqué sense of humor makes for entertaining company during this five-year journey. In Crazy Sexy Cancer, Carr doesn’t presume to offer any cures for untreatable conditions, but provides a model for living well through low-impact implementation and proper eating habits. The plentiful extras include a yoga normal, guided meditation, detox tips, deleted scenes, and extended interviews. –Kathleen C. Fennessy
