IMDb
(DVD, Facets Video)
An old woman lives in a cluttered apartment filled with photographs and letters from her past. She has long telephone conversations with her sister and a tempestuous relationship with an old lover. The film attempts to weave these threads together in a dreamlike style that shifts between the past and the present, the line between the two frequently blurred. It is somewhat successful, but the lack of a coherent narrative leaves it occasionally adrift, perhaps on purpose. Beautifully photographed by Janos Toth, who succeeds brilliantly in bringing the old photographs to life.
