Shy People (1987)
A haunting tale of shallow city life vs. that of relative isolation
1 April 1999 - 21 out of 26 users found this review helpful.
This film seems at first pretentious and then very thoughtful.
It begins as a shallow magazine photographer and her daughter travel deep into the Bayou to research their family history. As they meet and establish relationships with their cousins, the story evolves into a truly haunting display of modern life vs. isolation, and the ways in which people relate to each other. Barbara Hershey is especially excellent as a tough but deeply loving widow.
