1970 -
11 doctors in his family. born in india, grew up in philly, there's some striking similarities between him and lynch, the portrayal of the family-at-home, esp. pullman-arquette(brunette) v. willis-wright(-penn). the buzz a silence, roomtone razor sharp, the offness a normality.
it's all in the pacing, i reckon.
