Sweet, Sentimental Blast from the Past

If you love New York; if you love New York in the 70s and 80s; if you love New York movie theaters, film, actors, and you can enjoy a sweet story of a boy growing up with a loving mother and father, here is a homage for you. Narrated by the filmmaker but like a friend sharing personal funny, poiniant stories at a sleep-over while showing images of films that are under discussion, or reflect aspects of this story of his young, formative years. Great stuff. Heartwarming and charming.

A Real Treat For Film Buffs

Film maker Richard Shepard tells of his obsession with movies during the 1970s and 1980s and his relationship with his mysterious father.I just saw this at the Film Forum in NYC. It is great documentary for film fans. Shepard has directed some TV and only a few films, The Matador (2005) with Pierce Bronson is probably the most famous.Shepard talks of his father who got him into film and he never knew what his dad did for a living, but he did mix with some shady people.The film clips are amazing from over 200 films, running the gamut from Citizen Kane to porno.He also give some extra time to some films that really impressed him like King Kong (1933), The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (1974 and Rocky (1976).Shepard is a New Yorker so he shows the city in film during the 1970s and 1980s, with clips of gritty grimy era of The French Connection and Death Wish.He also pays tribute to long gone NY movie theaters that I myself have been to.If you can, try to seek this out.

Good Movies And Bad

Film maker Richard Shepherd takes us on a tour of his mysterious loan-shark father, his Jacqueline-Kennedy-beautiful mother, and the movies he saw from the middle of the 1970s and the 1980s as he grew up in the seemingly endlessly crumbling New York City.It's ninety-five minutes of him talking, with clips and stills, and cartoons and at first I hated it. Then, as it went on, I realized that this was his equivalent of Tavernier's Voyage à travers le cinéma français and the reality of film-making good and bad: there's something in it for the person who truly loves movies. Because if you love movies, you love the bad stuff as much as the good, the 95% that's crud informs the remaining 5%, and indeed sometimes has fleeting moments of greatness. And don't let anyone tell you different.
