Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Ira Wohl`s BEST BOY remains one of the most beloved and critically-acclaimed docs of all time. Wohl`s story centers around his 52-year-old cousin Philly, who has been mentally retarded since birth and has never lived apart from his parents, Max and Pearl Wohl. Now elderly, ailing, and concerned about Philly`s future after their deaths, the Wohls are prompted by Ira to begin teaching their son self-reliance. As Philly moves from summer camp to training center and finally to an independent group home, BEST BOY becomes a stark but tender portrait of a family confronting life`s impermanence and change. The DVD edition features Wohl`s follow-up film BEST MAN, which revisits Philly 20 years later as he continues to live on his own.
