"...an almost real-time verite portrait of a one-year-old boy’s daily routine" (Light Industry screening notes).
A blending of documentary and experimental narrative strategies, combining stunning 16mm landscape cinematography with a bold, lyrical voice-over to share two San Francisco stories: the history of the Golden Gate Bridge as “suicide landmark,” and the story of a butch dyke in San Francisco searching for love and self-discovery. The Joy of Life is a film about landscapes, both physical and emotional.
“The first motion picture which has not a trace of any attempt to lend literary meaning to its material.” --Kinesis, Inc.
"...an eccentric study of mundane rituals on the streets of San Francisco..." (Light Industry screening notes)
