| Movie Description Dabney Coleman stars as demolition contractor Stewart McBain in director John Boorman's WHERE THE HEART IS, a Capra-esque fable that harkens back to the populist comedies of the 1930s. When an architectural conservation group legally thwarts McBain's plans to vaporize the aging Dutch House apartments in Brooklyn, he's ridiculed for defending his actions in the media by the twentysomething layabout children who live off the fruits of his labor. Consequently the affluent businessmen decides to teach them a lesson by depositing them in the decrepit Dutch House with $750 each. Once there, Chloe (Suzy Amis), Jimmy (David Hewlett), and Daphne (Uma Thurman) decide to take on boarders to help with the expenses. Among them are Lionel (Crispin Glover), an aspiring clothing designer who pretends to be gay in order to be taken seriously, and Sheryl (Sheila Kelley), a young student who gives a demonstration of glossolalia (speaking in tongues), her area of study. Chloe, an artist who specializes in body-painting her friends against a backdrop of well-known masterpieces, decides to channel her talents into calendar art. However, while everything is going fine for his kids, McBain's business has gone down the drain, and he must now look to them for help.
Notes DVD Features: Region 1 Keep Case Interactive Features: Scene Access Interactive Menus, Shot on location in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and New York, New York. Director John Boorman modeled elements of the story on the lives of his own children and their friends. The parents of his eldest daughter's brother-in-law had given their children a derelict old house to take care of, instead of giving them an allowance. They were meant to rent out rooms, but apparently they made a complete mess of it. Chloe's painting's were the work of Timna Woolard, a friends of the director's family.
