The Mom Tapes
Directed by Ilene Segalove
19780h 27m
Overview
Segalove takes her mother as subject in these short pieces, recording her stories, her advice, and her daily routine. What results is a portrait of a contemporary mother-daughter relationship, touchingly devoid of drama and full of whimsical humor. For example, in one piece, Ilene’s mother laments over a pair of shoes her daughter has chosen to hang on the wall instead of wearing, saying, ”With you, everything is art”.
