Fun is a 1994 Canadian independent drama film starring Alicia Witt and Renée Humphrey, and directed by Rafal Zielinski.[1] The film centers on the murder of an elderly woman by two mentally unstable girls. Both Witt and Humphrey won a Special Jury Recognition award at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival.[2]
The film is based on a play by James Bosley, which was in turn based on an actual murder that was committed in Auburn, California in 1983 by 14-year-old Shirley Wolf and 15-year-old Cindy Collier.[3] The film's title is derived from a diary entry by Wolf, which read: "Today, Cindy and I ran away and killed an old lady. It was lots of fun."[3]
The film is told in flashbacks detailing the girls' relationship (in color), and their time in juvenile detention center (in black and white).
