RALPH ARLYCK – I Like It Here
Listen now
Description
I LIKE IT HERE is about the simple pleasures of being alive. An American documentarian for more than 50 years, Ralph Arlyck has created an eloquent cinematic meditation on the reality and surprising beauties of moving through life. Arlyck conveys how it feels to experience the winding down of one’s days as he visits friends from past and present, most of them rather lively, plus children and grandchildren. He punctuates those scenes with reflections on the challenges of feeling your joints and thoughts stiffen, as the camera confronts - both seriously and humorously -- the obstacles that loom up in front of anyone who is on the last lap. Interviewed here by Chuck Braverman on Westdoc. See more episodes at www.westdoc.net
