DVD Reviews of YOUNG WIDOW, Naked in the Memorial Playground
DVD Review: A documentary that attempts to redefine ideas of widowhood
Summary: 5 Stars
The documentary "Young Widow, Naked in the Memorial Playground" by first time filmmaker Elizabeth Titus is a different kind of look at widowhood in that it is not of a "self help" nature, but rather, a film about stereotypes. In it she profiles several subjects, all of them "young widows" - happy, vibrant, loving wives/husbands, some are mothers or fathers to young children, business owners or adventurers, their common bond is they have all lost their spouses far too young - in their 20s/30s/40s. The film follows their stories through three phases: "loss", "grief" and "renewal", and we learn that these young widows survive, learn to heal and eventually learn to rebuild a quality life from a life which had taken a catastrophic and, most often, unexpected turn directly in the middle of it.
In contrast to the interviewees profiles, the film examines and exposes, through brief interviews of "people on the street", society's unfortunate, yet all-too-common ideas and misconceptions about what a widow is, how long society thinks one "should" grieve and what someone outside looking in should/could do or say to help someone they love who has lost their spouse. A lot of enlightenment for very little investment, this film would be of great interest to young widows/widowers at all stages of grief, but I would also recommend it to anyone who has a young widow/widower in their life whom they wish to understand and support. This film would be especially useful to anyone who works as a professional in grief therapy/counseling (secular or theologic).
