Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America
Three short films by Douglas Buck. I had already seen Cutting Moments, but I watched it again anyway. I don't know why I do these things to myself. Depressing, disgusting, you feel like you need to scrub with a belt sander after watching it. The mood Buck sets in all three films is just amazing. Home & Prologue don't quite have the effect that Cutting Moments does (which is a shame, because it's the first film on the DVD) but they're both good shorts that will still cut you to the core.
These films ARE NOT for everyone. I think they are very well done, and they really hit home on the atmosphere of disintigrated family on several levels. Very good films all three.
