Extreme Close-Up (1990 TV Movie) User Reviews

Important for anyone who has lost someone to suicide.

I think this movie would be very healing to someone that has had to watch a loved one suffer with depression or commit suicide. It also would be beneficial to watch for anyone that has been depressed or maybe thought of suicide. This movie tends to show what happens to all involved. I think that our society needs more movies like this one, so we can have a better understanding of depression.

I relate to the subject matter.

I personally deal with depression,as do a few close friends of mine.I liked the title because,first off I felt the closeness with mother and son..I have that with my own son. Im trying to find the video,I know It will be rewarding.

Not just a study of depression/suicide

This film belongs with others like URBANIA which question how we know reality. The central figure videotapes his life and only in the viewing of his tapes does his life become real. Although never explored, there is the implication that since he might edit the tape, he could edit reality. I would really love to have a good copy of this film if possible.
