Charming but disturbing
I saw this on PBS and greatly enjoyed it, but I feel morally compelled to criticize the film-makers.I was sickened and appalled at the scene involving the adult daughter stripping her elderly mother for the camera. The daughter literally pulled the clothes off her mother, in a rather rough way, leaving her elderly mother exposed in panties & bra. The mother looked baffled, bewildered, and a bit frightened. She seemed to barely realize what was happening to her. Did she truly understand she was being filmed? My belief is that she could not understand what was going on.
What a cruel and vicious act.
As I understand this, the film was made by the grandchildren, who should've stopped this behavior on the spot. The scene should be removed from the film. I can only imagine this hideous humiliation was included because they feared their mother.
