Abstract

I explore the life-changing resonances of two films: The Tree of Life (2011) and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019). Drawing on the film philosophy of Daniel Frampton, I explain how the films have changed my consciousness, especially as they ‘speak’ to each other within my mind, and especially as they resonate with my memories of my late father.
