COMMENTS

Shown during the James Broughton tribute. James Broughton appeared in person.

A capricious but unsparing souvenir of a San Francisco childhood, recollected in the nostalgic style of a cluttered family album, this film exposes the fetishes and enigmas and secret nonsense rituals of a large household dominated by a self-absorbed mother with a taste for exotic hats and stereotyped children.

—James Broughton
