*GRFF: Beyond Greenaway: The LegacyRated: NR 17+Runtime: 68 Category: Documentary Starring: Directed By: Sue Gilbert No Passes
Description: What is the legacy of inherited wealth? Do we deserve it? Did we inherit our parents' values along with the money? Sue Gilbert returns to explore the wealth and lifestyle issues first portrayed through the eyes of her elderly parents in her documentary "Greenaway" (1982), set on her family's private island in Connecticut. In "Greenaway," her parents were starkly frank about the meaning of wealth, the relevance of a servant class, and other topics such as the immanent decline of the American democracy into socialism "and slavery." This time out, Gilbert compares her parents' viewpoints to those of their children and grandchildren, lending each topic an almost holographic effect as it is viewed through this multigenerational lens. |
