"In Jack, the artist accompanies his nephew during the first years of life, this child becomes a recreation of Hoolboom, and of all of us. The filmmaker is looking for an imaginary past in order to reflect on a possible future, in pursuit of a primordial look, 'a second chance.' But we know that second chances are only too rare, and the final segments of this beautiful movie work quietly, with a grave elegiac quality, acquiring the aspect of a dream. Like a dream, we do not control these images, all we can do is wake up." Antonio Rodrigues, Portuguese Cinematheque
Part two of the ten-part compilation feature Imitations of Life (2002).
