A Daily Life

NEW DOCS

In 1932 Piet, a young Dutch real estate developer, buys a movie camera; until 1978 he documents his family life—the new babies, vacations, parties, weddings. There’s nothing earth-shattering in these home movies but edited elegantly down to an hour, they become art. A highly distilled evocation of life and memory and time marching on, A Daily Life is universal, intimate, and deeply moving.
