"The incredible story of a postal worker and a librarian who built a world-class art collection" was almost better than Christmas. Herb and Dorothy Vogel's basic love for art and each other shows, making this movie not so much about conceptual and minimal art as much as relationships, passion, and extreme hobbies. Herb and Dorothy Vogel built an enigmatic world of their tiny apartment, shoving thousands of pieces of work everywhere, while spending every scrap of their free time skillfully and charmingly accumulating more. There are also cats in this movie, by the way.
Check out the official site for more info. The film appeared in theaters last summer, and the DVD released this month.
