Nicole Holofcener's 'Angry' may be the funniest, starring the director as a young woman trying to escape mom's (Lynn Cohen) apron strings. Ending has a bit of a shaggy-dog aspect, but it's an ending. In 'Fugitive Love,' a most ambitious film, Jane (Stephanie Silverman) returns home after a soured romance; her mother (Peggy Cowles), aunt (Jacqueline DeCosmo) and grandmother (Hope Sacharoff) smother her with advice. Writer-director Tamara Jenkins -- who submitted this as her thesis film at NYU Film School - - scores humor points here; also impressive is the evocative art direction by Susan Block and Bob Armstrong. 'Television: The Drug of the Nation,' a fairly conventional musicvideo consisting of montaged still and video images, may have been chosen on the basis of itstheme: the numbing effect of the media on impressionable minds. Piece works, but wouldn't stand out on "Yo! MTV Raps.'"--Variety, July 2, 1993. 538 U-matic NTSC. 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Music videos.|2mim 655 7 Television.|2mim 700 1 Jenkins, Tamara,|d1962-|edirection,|ewriting,|eediting. 700 1 Yu, Jessica,|edirection. 700 1 Holofcener, Nicole,|edirection,|ewriting. 700 1 Pellington, Mark,|d1962-|edirection. 700 1 Franti, Michael,|d1966-|ewriting. 710 2 Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (Musical group) 710 2 KTCA-TV (Television station : Saint Paul, Minn.) 941 0 PFA 0750-01-8081.
