[Frameworks] film eulogies

Mon Mar 20 12:46:05 UTC 2017

I would consider a number of Saul Levine's films as eulogies. *Pillow
Filled With Tears,* remembering Mark Lapore, *Falling Notes Leaving,*
remembering Anne Charlotte Robertson. Several films remember Saul's father.
I think of *Whole Note.*  There are more.
