An interesting though heavy-handed look at the behavior of a young boy. Photographed in pseudodocumentary style, it takes a studied and observational approach to childhood. We see the boy and his mother, as though in a home movie, the kin of the 16mm cameraman. An extraordinary
semiincestuous scene provides an example of the unusual depth of this independently financed feature.
