An homage to the art of film, childhood

An homage to the art of film, childhood, the creator's (Richard Shepard's) father, and to a specific era in New York City 1970s-80s, as well as to how craft catches up with artistic vision and desire through immersion and obsession. Wonderful, honest, subjective and stimulating, and yes, artistic and multi-layered. I plan to watch it again, and maybe again after that.

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.

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.
