The head bandaging scene is, of course, here and it works due in large to the acting. However, the camera work is horrible and truly distracting. (as it is in much of the film). Overall, worth seeing. The "flashback" framing device seems like a good idea but then really falls apart in the end by needlessly extending the ending. Some very good performances from just about everyone. (Moss is just about perfect and Bening as well) You also may be correct regarding the parent-child trajectory. Nina takes center stage here even more than in the play.
