Very Nice, Very Nice

Canada (1961): Short

Director Arthur Lipsett's first film. It looks behind the business-as-usual face we put on life and shows anxieties we want to forget. It is made of dozens of pictures that seem familiar, with fragments of speech heard in passing and, between times, a voice saying, "Very nice, very nice."
