My Friend Paul (1999)
Touching and challenging
13 September 2022
This personal film brings two childhood friends together, one a filmmaker, the other a bank robber. The friendship between these two is touching, but also challenging for the friends as they explore their childhood and the road ahead. Really grabbed me, very compelling!!
Directed by Jonathan Berman and focusing on Paul S, this film is a brisk 58 minutes and covers a lot of ground. I would suggest for anyone who has had a difficult friend that you loved.
Set in New York City in 1998, this provides an interesting background and time capsule. Also, archival footage follows the pair growing up in 70's Brooklyn. Very cool interviews with friends from the neighborhood, all who chose very different paths.
