For the life of me I wonder what prompted the people at the London Film Festival to screen this film at the NFT.
Filmed sometime in the 70s in Black & White it's the story of a family told over maybe two days and is strangely compelling.
There's no typically Afro-American Urban film scenes just a story about a family and what do. Children play games, dad goes to work and mum looks after the home, an everyday story of life. But don't let that put you off because the film really draws you in somehow. It features a great soundtrack of tunes taken from the 30/40s and some strange (to my mind) editing.
Do try and see this film if it's at a Festival near you because you too will be drawn into it as I was.
Weirdly Wonderful Film.
