Inside the Arthouse: LIZA: A TRULY TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY

You think you know Liza Minnelli. But you don’t.

Behind the tabloid headlines, there is a person, the product of a tumultuous marriage. Someone who had to deal with the early and tragic death of their mother. A performer who had to deal with the expectations of being the child of one of the most legendary performers of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

In today’s climate where nepotism and privilege draw such intense scrutiny, it can be hard to remember that expectation can also be a crushing weight. But Liza survived it all. In LIZA: A TRULY TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY, filmmaker Bruce David Klein pulls back the curtain and allows Liza’s friends to reveal how she was able to use a coterie of collaborators and mentors to reach the highest peaks of stardom, even as her personal life did not always match that success. After seeing the film, you will undoubtedly have a greater appreciation for this talented performer and complex individual.
