Stinking Heaven Stinking Heaven

Nathan Silver / USA / 2015 / 70 min

Married couple Jim and Lucy run a commune for sober living out of their suburban New Jersey home. The motley members eat, bathe and work together selling homemade ‘health tea’ out of their van. Although there’s constant bickering and plenty of fires to be put out, Jim and Lucy have managed to establish a haven for these outcasts. But the harmony is interrupted when Ann, a recovering addict and the ex-lover of one housemate, arrives. Ann’s insidious presence sends the members spiralling out of control.

This black as tar comedy (if quoting the filmmaker) charts the dissolution of a commune for sober living, painting the picture of the 1990s suburban New Jersey social fabric.

"Shooting a period piece, I found it necessary to work with a news camera from the time. In the end, it's a documentary of a fictional world – one that deals with the need for family, love, and humiliation." (Nathan Silver)
