KIM’S VIDEO: 2023 (Available for $4.99 rental on Prime Video) This is a stranger-than-fiction-documentary. It is a long, strange trip of a film collection of 55,000 titles from New York’s Lower East Side to a tiny Italian village and back again. Kim’s Video was a legend among addicted film lovers. If you lived in Manhattan in the 1980s and you loved movies, you sooner or later made your way to Kim’s Video whose inventory was a VHS education in film history. But be warned, if you are not a film buff you should skip this one. In no way would I describe this as a well-made film. I did not find the film boring, but I fear that most would. Barbara fell asleep and doesn’t want to put a grade on it. MY GRADE C+
