   Family Viewing is about Van, a young man who still cares for his Armenian grandmother, left in a nursing home by his father, her son-in-law. All the scenes at his dysfunctional home are in washed-out video and played as a multi-camera soap or sitcom, while those with his grandmother are on more vibrant film. When Van discovers his father has been taping over old home movies of his mother and grandmother with his home-made porn, he purposes to leave home and get his grandmother out of the nursing home. As with all of Egoyan's films, it's structured like a mystery for the audience to solve, starting slow and eventually revealing what the relationships are and what dreadful secrets they hide. The television is omnipresent, and the question asked is whether a recording can replace an experience. As a formal experiment, it works better than Next of Kin, though perhaps not emotionally. 8 years 10 months ago
