In Nobody’s Business, Alan Berliner creates a touching and personal portrait of his most reluctant subject, his father Oscar. A unique biography and also an anatomy of a relationship between the two men, the film explores Berliner’s father’s history and Jewish background. Humour and pathos emerge in Alan’s continued investigation in the face of Oscar’s bewilderment at the project: “I am just an ordinary guy who has led an ordinary life… That’s all, nothing to make a picture about.” The timbre of their familial relationship becomes a representation of the connection of past and present, as it emerges that no one is truly ordinary.
