DVD Mini Review - Herb & Dorothy

Megumi Sasaki's wonderful documentary Herb & Dorothy is about married couple Herb & Dorothy Vogel. The Vogels are New Yorkers who collect art. But they are not rich people. He is a retired postal worker and she is a retired librarian. And this film shows you that you don't have to be rich to do what you love.

We get a bit of background on the Vogels but the film really focuses on when they got married and how they become such great art collectors. Despite their great knowledge of art the Vogels are very down to earth people. They live in a rent controlled apartment and love animals. And in the end you find out that they are not into money at all.

I highly recommend this film to those of you who like to find out that there wonderful and interesting people in the world.
