The Curio
A struggling filmmaker's heartbreakingly comedic, memoiresque take on facing the age-old dilemma posed by the conflicting demands of raising a family and following the path of an artist. In his first feature film, Dicky Dahl weaves documentary and narrative elements into a poignant and surprisingly funny memoir about the collapse of his marriage and subsequent struggles to find his footing in the bohemian paradise that is Portland, Oregon. Dicky, his ex-wife, parents and brothers appear as themselves in the film, as scripted material, footage from the director's married life, and interviews with family and friends paint the picture of a somewhat misguided late-bloomer experiencing all the freedom, loneliness and humiliation that come with having to start over when the bloom is off the rose.
