Today's Man
MID-LENGTH DOCToday's Man
Director: Lizzie GottliebThe director's attempt to understand her brother's strange and extraordinary life, TODAY'S MAN gives us Nicky Gottlieb, a young man with Asperger's syndrome, a high- functioning form of Autism, as he struggles to leave his family's home and find his own place in the world. The film is both a personal exploration of a family drama and a broader effort to create an awareness and understanding of a fascinating, mysterious and heartrending disorder. TODAY'S MAN is also enormously entertaining. As Nicky says, "Can't I just be somebody who's just a little eccentric and watches television in a systematic way?" (2006, 55 min.)
Showing: May 18, 12pm, Crown Hall
