1970s
Color

This '70s home movie shows a couple and teenage girl leaving a home. The entire clip has a ghostly look to it; the images are reminiscent of a Francis Bacon painting. Bacon, a UK painter, was known for creating scary, ethereal imagery.

Clip begins with a young man reversing his car onto a suburban street. He then exits the car and retracts the top of the car, which is a convertible. 

A teenage girl and young woman leave their home and get into the man's convertible. The car takes off, disappearing into the distance.

The end of the clip shows a motherly woman sitting on the steps before her home, smoking a cigarette. A bespectacled man joins her. Both smile for the camera.
