Past Perfect (2002)

Past Perfect is a spirited meditation on the elusiveness and inaccessibility of Jewish history as conveyed through sightseeing tours of Jewish Poland a grandmothers recollection of life in America during War II and memoirlike last moments of a great aunt believed to have died in Treblinka Shot almost entirely in contemporary Poland Past Perfect lyrically portrays the relentless yet ultimately futile attempt to resuscitate a history literally gone up in smoke
