Jöel Bartoloméo has taken the generic mode of the home movie to a new level of sophistication. Modulated, in no small part, by the cinematic output of Andy Warhol, the homey nuances of family life are tempered in his work when those brutal moments of children's play are transformed into Grand Gugniol theatricality. Watching close-ups of his Parisian family antics, every viewer sees themselves reflected in the domestic antics.
