"What keeps you going until you are 91? Dr Eric Frankel reflects on the last 53 years in his house with his wife, and reveals his secrets of marriage and cooking."
This is another very short documentary that I found to be quite effective. Again, it has a very simple structure, cutting from what Eric is saying to old photographs and images of his house to punctuate what is being said.
This is perhaps the most conventional of the documentaries I watched and, in a way, it suffers because of this. It really doesn't do anything particularly interesting and it's strength comes from Eric himself and the choices made about what parts of his interview to include.
I certainly have a soft spot for older people reminiscing about their lives and this was an effective little documentary in that regard.
