film criticism by maryann johanson | since 1997
If you like The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, then you’ll like this one, by the same filmmaker, Judy Irving. In fact, this short is one of the new bonus features on the two-disc collector’s edition of the parrot movie.
I love parrots to the point of distraction, so I’m probably not the most objective person to be saying this, but: If you have never seen *The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill,* you simply must. And now, this acclaimed 2003 film is available in a new DVD set that is the rare ‘collector’s edition’ that actually feels worthy of the label.
