Product Description
David Arbus will be graduating from high school in the spring of 1975. His divorced parents offer two options embrace his mothers Hasidic sect or go into his fathers line of work running a porn theater in the heart of New Yorks Times Square. He joins the family business. What else would a healthy seventeenyearold with an interest in photography do But he didnt think it would mean giving up his mother and sister altogether. Peep Show is the bittersweet story of a young man torn between a mother trying to erase her past and a father struggling to maintain his dignity in a lessthansavory business. As David peeps through the spaces in the screen that divides the men and the women in Hasidic homes we cant help but think of his fathers Imperial Theatre where other men are looking at other women through the peepholes. As entertaining as it is moving Peep Show looks at the elaborate ensembles rituals assumed names and fierce loyalties of two secret worlds stripping away the curtains of both. show more
