The Closer We Get (2015) Douban
The Closer We Get
director: Karen Guthrie actor: Karen Guthrie / Ian Guthrie …
other title: 当我们靠得更近 / 拉鏡距離(台)
This is a powerful and exquisitely-shot autobiographical portrait of loyalty, broken dreams and redemption told by its director - reluctantly-dutiful daughter Karen, who takes you under the skin of the household she returns to for this long goodbye.
Karen's mother Ann suffers a devastating stroke that brings her daughter back home when she least expects it. But Karen isn't the only one who returns to help care for Ann in the crisis: Her prodigal father Ian - endearing and unfathomable - and who's been separated from Ann for years, also reappears. Armed with her camera, Karen seizes this last chance to go under the skin of the family story before it's too late, to come to terms with the aftermath of the secret her father had tried - and failed - to keep from them all, and to find that Ann's stroke has in fact thrown them all a life raft.
With candour, warmth and much unexpected humour, Karen’s role as family confidante, busybody, therapist and spy illuminates this extraordinary story of contemporary family survival.

个人认为“贩毒之地”翻译并不准确。分明是讲黑帮、政府、自组织以及更多看不见的势力的拉锯。

三个女人三个国家的劫后余生。菲律宾奶奶表面上过着最正常的生活,结婚生子,可是最后看下来却是最唏嘘的。无法把自己的过去与家人坦白,也无法与过去和解。有了创伤后如何能继续抬头挺胸活下去?在我看来这是这部纪录片给我的启示。

主旋律导演拍成这样不错,导演本人也挺有想法。喜欢矿车下降往上拍的镜头。
