Family Viewing

A haunting and poignant drama that exposes the darker aspects of our increasingly video-saturated society, "Family Viewing" (1987) follows a young man's desperate attempt to rescue his grandmother from a degrading nursing home and reclaim the memories of his mother. As he navigates the complex web of family dysfunction, Van must confront the disturbing secrets of his father's past and the true cost of his own father's obsessions with phone sex and homemade pornography. With its powerful exploration of parent-child relationships, intergenerational trauma, and the struggle for human connection in a hyper-consumerist world, "Family Viewing" is a thought-provoking and deeply unsettling film that lingers long after the credits roll.
