How we remember our parents, and ourselves, is at the heart of Ben Stiller’s dreamlike documentary

Both Anne and Jerry dreamed of becoming actors – Anne was captivated by the work of Eleanora Duse and Stanislavski’s acting techniques, and Jerry had considered a career in comedy. They married in 1954, but their joint performing career didn’t truly begin until 1963, when they appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Their act often involved humorous scenarios, like two strangers meeting after an apocalypse or a mismatched couple brought together by a dating service. Jerry was a meticulous perfectionist who constantly rehearsed, while Anne had a natural comedic talent and a more spontaneous approach.
