Herb & Dorothy are charming people. Their lifelong passion of building up their personal art collection, buying strictly from contemporary artists on-the-rise, is unique. At the time of the making of this film, their small New York City apartment is crammed with art pieces. But their constricted home environs trouble them not: the joy they gain from their collection is palpable. Unfortunately they are not especially compelling screen presences, and this doc has a low-budget look about it. This can be off-putting. But I still enjoyed getting to know them a bit. Nice to see how they're sharing their collection with others, too.
