Following the line of «Capturing the Friedmans », or from «tarnation«, The movie is coming«Must Read After my Death«. After the death of his grandmother Allis, in 2001, it is that Morgan dews seized the large arsenal of photographs, recordings, and films in Super 8 that the woman kept well stored, and that she had made in her youth, together with her husband.
At the beginning, the documentary is presented as a portrait of a perfect suburban family, a happy couple, and their happy children playing in the garden. But as the film and the film run, it is that the rather hidden truths of a family that was more than it appeared are exposed. By revealing the collapse of a perfection in decline, they denote the social and sexual dramas of an era and a mentality that could not get out of the norm. It becomes a psychological drama, at some point, exposing the deepest miseries of a hypocritical dream life, and stripping us in our role as perfect voyeurists, even when we believe we are innocent fighters in favor of art.
The film has been released in the United States on February 20, and its arrival in European cinemas is expected in the middle of the year, if it arrives. And it is a type of film whose reach to the public is not usually massive, so it may not be released on an extended commercial circuit, but restricted to a minimum of theaters, and on DVD as well.
What is certain is that, I think, it is a type of film that we should see, both from the responsibility that the other's stripping implies, and the other's exhibitionism, as well as the role of voyeurs to which we submit. It is not a criticism, but a call to conscience. Because we are not talking about simple fiction, where each character is alive in the simple box on the screen, but those shown here are people in their total nakedness. And that implies, and a lot. Here the trailer.
