妻子死后留下的听来令人心碎的影音日记追忆了一个关于压迫,受虐的故事。最值得一提的是,所有的录像影音都被完整地保留了下来,在她死后由她女儿爱丽丝,影片选用的材料和家庭电影相结合,采用非寻常的倒叙手法,重现家庭内部的纷争,并对美国20世纪60年代的美国文化做了一番评述。
"When an unconventional 1960s Connecticut couple turn to psychiatry for help with their troubled marriage, their lives spiral out of control. Allis and Charley submit themselves and their four children to a daily barrage of group and individual therapies. But things get worse. Pills are prescribed, family members are sent away. The family, as instructed by their doctors, record their discussions and fights. Smart, free-thinking Allis begins to question the therapy. Her heart-wrenching audio diaries tell a story of oppression, abuse and institutionalized misogyny. Remarkably, all of these recordings were preserved, hidden away for Allis's children to discover after her death. The film uses this intimate material combined with home movies and an unusual soundtrack to viscerally reconstruct the family's struggle and to comment on the mores of American culture in the '60s.
