Comment on "Nobody's business" (Alan Berliner, 1996) In his movie "Nobody's Business" director Alan Berliner takes on his noncomittal father and makes him become the reluctant center of an affective though subtle analysis of family's history and commemoration. The outcome is an exceptional biography giving room for humor and pathos while showing a maelstrom of conflicts and affection between father and son. In the end of this complex portrait different perceptions collide: the past meets the future, generations bang together and the limits of family life are being displaced, blurred, disrupted and - surprisingly - mostly respected. "Nobody's business", which is a sequel to Alan Berliners movie "Intimate Stranger", explores the other half of his ancestors, the Berliners. His kinship and his remote relatives are kind of a living laboratory for Berliner, him using it to decypher the mysteries of family history, genealogy and heredity. He also takes these very private and personal embodiments und converts them into a story with an almost universal resonancy. Everybody watching "Nobody's Business" will experience the warm shock of recognition.
