Utopians
The artist, Zbigniew Bzymek, shot his feature film debut in Brooklyn as a portrait of an unlikely postmodern, queer family that inhabits a house while working on its reconstruction. While having fragile relationships, the family constructs hope for the functioning of their own private, microscopic utopia. The constellation involves the red-headed yoga teacher, Roger, his masculine African American daughter, Zoe, who just returned from the military, and her schizophrenic girlfriend yearning for a baby. Narrated through meticulous visual imagery in synch with a hypnotic musical score, the flowing existence of the trio is portrayed in structures of associations while concentrating on precise, realistic performances.
