CAPTURING THE FRIEDMANS

Andrew Jarecki États-Unis, 2003
While with any number of competent, feature-length documentaries one can happily say "wait until it turns up on the small screen", with Capturing the Friedmans it is well worth sitting in the dark to find out the extent to which you think you are being deliberately kept there.

An oddly riveting chronicle of one family’s devastating demise.
janvier 19, 2004
A vividly personal, devastating story of a family that was hopelessly compromised years before it was scapegoated for crimes that two of its members may or may not have committed.

The more this family films itself, it seems, the less it can actually perceive clearly: camera as funhouse mirror, rather than sooth-seeker, in other words.

It's disconcerting to be appalled and even slightly nauseated by a masterpiece. But Andrew Jarecki's Capturing the Friedmans is a documentary, and so it's disconcerting largely because of its subject matter—it shocks us with the truth.

This film is not to be missed, because it is so painfully and profoundly human.

The New York Times
So many of us have joked -- and in our darkest moments, wondered -- exactly what family films would reveal about us and those bound to us by blood. The director Andrew Jarecki has made exactly that self-absorption the heart of his engagingly evenhanded and intelligently assembled first feature.

A disquieting meditation on the nature of truth itself, and what people can claim to know about each other or themselves.

An ordeal that hacks to the bone of the parental condition, this is quasi-verité as community purge-fire.

There’s no doubt that the film delivers the emotional equivalent of a kidney punch, but that’s as much a result of the filmmaker’s attitude—better suited to entomological research—and the tidy Rashomon structure he imposes on material as it is to the Friedmans themselves.
mars 1, 2003
A startling documentary that takes the widely publicized child molestation case of the 1980s and works it into a stirring examination of truth at odds with perception, the high price of privacy in the media era and the blinding veil of blood ties.
janvier 26, 2003
A complex, genuinely thought-provoking documentary that probes the limitations of memory, justice and even the documentary form itself.
