Week 5: Feb 9-11

Dir. Bill Gunn (1980); US; 165 min

Programmed by: Naomi Nguyen

In the realm of experimental filmmaking, Personal Problems is a captivating epic written as a “meta soap opera.” With the genuine (albeit chaotic) charm of being shot on a videocassette recorder, it invites the audience to witness the intricate lives of real people with real problems. With Bill Gunn’s improvisational and naturalistic direction, Personal Problems unfolds organically, through dreamy shot-on-video static and burgeoning, saturated colors.
