Portrait of Kaye
Kaye's lifelong agoraphobia has kept her within her parents' house. She finds comfort in the faces and lives of old film stars and pastes their photographs with those of her deceased family on her home's walls, creating a colorful collage that mixes personal history with Hollywood fantasy. Told in freewheeling monologues, Depiction of Kaye is a heartbreaking portrait of a lady establishing her own identity while negotiating her mother's raunchy humour and her father's fears. Now 74 and widowed, her infatuation with a younger neighbor lets her explore personal and sexual liberties. Ben Reed, a former next-door neighbor and music video director, shot this film over two years.
