SUMMARY:PERSONAL PROBLEMS\, streaming at Rivertown Film
DESCRIPTION:Defying the racially exclusive Hollywood studio system\, novelist Ishmael\nReed\, Rockland County director Bill Gunn and a renegade group of artists\nbanded together to make a “meta soap opera” about the struggles of a\nworking class couple in New York City in 1980. They illuminated Black\nreality and soap opera banality through the story of a nurse’s aid and her\nhusband\, leading us through the stresses of their lives. “With a\nFassbinderian flair for color and a neorealist’s eye for composition…\nGunn spins a potent ensemble drama from his modest domestic\nmilieu.”—Hollywood Reporter. USA\, 1980\, 165 minutes. Zoom discussion with\ncast and crew members Sam Waymon and Marshall Johnson\, moderated by Bill\nBatson\, on 2/21.\nPersonal Problems was produced on 3/4” videotape in 1980 and was shown once\non PBS. It was rediscovered in 2015 and restored\, but the master tapes were\ntoo badly degraded to bring them up to modern video standards.\n“George Bernard Shaw said that “If you do not tell your stories others will\ntell them for you and they will vulgarize and degrade you.” With few\nexceptions\, this expression can be applied to Hollywood’s treatment of\nBlacks from the creation of the industry to now.” – Personal Problems\nwriter\, Ishmael Reed\n“Personal Problems is among those rare\, quietly unassuming avant-garde\nworks that takes the trouble to be genuinely entertaining while pushing\nformal and textual boundaries.” —Film Comment
