Phyllis and Harold is an astoundingly frank journey through a disatrous 59-year marriage. Drawing on a lifetime of her family’s home movies and interviews made over 12 years, filmaker Cindy Kliene mixes reportage, cinema verit’e and animation to uncover family secrets and tell a story that could not be shown publicly as long as her father was still alive. Phyllis and Harold delve into the mystery of time passing, the nature of living a life, and the challenges of losing those we love. But it is also a loving, funny expos’e on the sins of suburbia. Imagine Bergman’s Scenes From a Marrige seen through the prism of I Love Lucy.
