t. and the small picture frame1986

A humorous montage about a middle class family presented in the style of an amateur home movie, Phil Weisman lovingly portrays his family "beneath a veil of youthful ambivalence." Golf, dentistry and bingo figure in his ironic snapshot of twentieth century America, in beautiful, grainy black-and-white. The enchantment of the mundane is interspersed with an artist's vision for memory in a heartwarming depiction of life in specific time and place, when a house full of friends gather to celebrate a twenty fifth wedding anniversary. - Stela Jelincic
