Alan Berliner—Intimate Stranger (1991, 60m) and Nobody’s Business (1996, 60m) Alan Berliner’s personal documentaries combine many source materials to develop complex and layered accounts of his lives and the lives of others. After the death of Joseph Cassuto, Berliner created Intimate Stranger about his grandfather’s life. He combines interviews with family and friends, home movies and archival footage to present a portrait of a complex man. Nobody’s Business deals with Oscar A. Berliner, father of the father of the director. Family members add their comments to this portrait of a retired Jewish sportswear manufacturer and salesman who describes himself as “just an ordinary guy.
