Phyllis and Harold theatrical trailer

Phyllis and Harold is an astoundingly frank journey through a disastrous 59-year marriage. Drawing on a lifetime of her family's home movies and interviews made over 12 years, filmmaker Cindy Kleine mixes reportage, cinema verité and animation to uncover family secrets and tell a story that could not be shown publicly as long as her father was still alive. Phyllis and Harold delves into the mystery of time passing, the nature of living a life, and the challenges of losing those we love. But it is also a loving, funny exposé on the sins of suburbia. Imagine Bergmans Scenes From
a Marriage seen through the prism of I Love Lucy.

"...A masterpiece. It is devastating, true, sad, funny, and so moving that it
attracted several of my colleagues who wandered in the screening room and
couldn't leave. It's a new kind of cinematic DNA, ruthlessly honest,
carrying complicated and unsettling messages that won't long leave my brain
and gut." Ken Burns, filmmaker
