Unstrap Me

A terrific, moving film. Kuchar, as narrator, follows Uncle Bojo around the country, observing and commenting on his relationships with women and places. A visit to sculptor George Segal's house, where we see Segal's method in detail, plays like a dream sequence. Recklessly observed humor and a great sense of movement make this a strange, nostalgic masterpiece. Not an obtuse avant-garde film (as Kuchar's movies are often described) but an intimate portrait and delicate road movie. A great place to start with Kuchar.
