"IF YOU WERE TO DIE TOMORROW WHAT MOMENT WOULD YOU MOST REMEMBER AND HOW DID IT CHANGE YOUR LIFE?"
This question above was asked, "From celebrities to gang members, from heroin addicts and homeless, to teachers and clergy. Writer-director Nicholas Hondrogen, in his classy, disturbing documentary notes that all proceeds are donated to AIDS, although AIDS is only one of the preoccupations expressed here... Composer Philip Glass and others remember the birth of their children as electrifying moments, broadcaster Larry King recalls the heart attack that changed his life; and an actress recalls the details of her terrifying rape. The filmmaker turns the camera on himself as well. "Perfect Moment" won the Audience Award at the 1997 Slamdance International Film Festival focuses on some fascinating personalities..” Michael Farkash. The Hollywood Reporter 10. 24.'97.
