Synopsis
Jan, an itinerant male nurse from Denmark, takes a new job with Mrs. A, a terminally ill Manhattan woman raising her parentless thirteen-year-old grandson, Gil. Spending the summer by the shore, the emotionally reserved Jan finds himself oddly cast as a mentor to Gil in having to prepare the sensitive boy for life with his cousins in Florida after his grandmother's death. A deep friendship grows between these two solitary people. By the end of the summer, Gil has developed a new maturity and independence, while the enigmatic Jan has revealed his own vulnerability.
Review
A VERY SERIOUS PERSON is a tight little film with a fine story, solid
cast and enough thoughts about connecting isolated individuals to make
the movie both entertaining and touching. Spanning the ages from young
teenagers to middle age to elderly, each focusing on basically needy
souls trying to find solid ground, writer (with Carl
Andress)/director/actor Charles Busch has developed an ensemble effect
in casting just the right actors to relate his ideas.
As a summer for consolation for the elderly ill Mrs. Aronson (Polly
Bergen, reminding us what a fine performer she is!) has requested that
her 13-year-old grandson Gil (P.J. Verhoest), whose parents are
deceased, come live with her on the Jersey shore. Mrs. A is known for
being a difficult patient, going through live-in nurses like wildfire,
and living with her trusty housekeeper Betty (veteran actress Dana
Ivey), but she is in for a surprise when young Gil moves in - a
slightly feminine lad with a penchant for old Hollywood movies, writing
grand stories about great heroines, dressing like Marie Antoinette, and
refusing to learn swimming or any outdoor activities in favor of
watching 'Gone with the Wind' whenever possible.
Into this household enters the latest 'nurse', a gay Danish ex-dancer
Jan (Charles Busch) who by admission is 'a very serious person' -
obsessive compulsive in his care for Mrs. A, coping with the flustered
Betty, and rarely smiling at the antics of the overpowering Gil. Each
of these three rather glitzy people is lonely, and each in his/her own
way wants acceptance and love. The story is how the three learn from
each other, give and take, and find the niche that proves the summer
was not wasted.
Busch draws marvelous performances from Bergen, Verhoest, and Ivey as
well as creating lovable side characters: the outrageous gay
hairdresser (Carl Andress) and his associate (Alexa Eisenstein), Jan's
love interest (Simon Fortin) among others. The growing relationship
between Jan and Gil provides a platform for some serious issues about
accepting sexuality and the interaction of all the characters on the
failing Mrs. A is warmly managed. This is a comedy with an edge and
above all it is a solidly entertaining movie. Grady Harp
