This charming short film from ciné-naturalist Nathan Goldstein is on the surface a delightful exposé of a two-year-old's exhuberant playground antics. The role of the boy Zack is artfully played by a newcomer, Goldstein's son Zachary, who was apparently born to play the part. The mom, played by the boy's real mother, is wonderfully supportive, both in character and as security in the action stunts. One of the many scenes will guarantee this pièce a place in the cinematic pantheon of short metaphoric films: In the maze sequence, the boy pretends to consult a map before dashing knowingly to the exit, which subtly posits that the current administration, although lost in a mesopotamian morass, must look at the map and abandon its ill-intentioned course of action. My only brickbat is that the "Running on Purple" segment goes too far in its careless reference to the classified 93 TFLOP computer used by the National Nuclear Security Administration. That said, all in all it's a heart-warming film that should be seen by all. Kudos and two thumbs up! * * * * *
