About

“A ‘silent’ interview, QUIET AFTERNOON is the most strange and moving of Turkle’s films, documenting the year-round garage sale of an eccentric, elderly Ohio couple. The omission of sound and the focused, grainy attention of their legacy of bric-a-brac, discarded appliances and collected curiosities adds greatly to the film’s ultimate emotional effect.” – Frank Young, Florida Flambeau.
