(You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)I caught a very odd film called Vakvagany, which airs again Friday, 5/23/03, 11:30 a.m. on the Sundance Channel.
One imdb (link below) reviewer commented: (note: the “son” is only an infant, then a toddler, then not much older than maybe 6 or 7 in the scenes referred to)
The usual family moments are captured in the old family films, such as giving the new baby in the house a bath.
But the camera lingers lasciviously long on naked son Erno, a cause for concern for `expert witness,' Dr. Roy Menninger, who seems increasingly to be wincing as the film (and the old family footage) unfolds. There are moments in Vakvagany - old and new - that are apt to make virtually any viewer, even the most jaded, wince, as well.
Benjamin Meade's "Vakvagany" (or, variously, "Dead End") is eighty-plus minutes of very strange cinema. Love it or hate it, it is something new, and it feels dangerous and important.
