Licking the Window

Cape Breton-based filmmaker Neil Livingston’s documentary is a psychedelic road movie about restlessness, breakfast recipes, the usefulness of male nipples and other assorted sundry. In other words, it’s a probing examination of the psyche in winter. Witty, irreverant, indulgent and self-mocking, “Licking the Window” confronts the filmmaker’s image of himself. The ensuing battle is entertaining, enlightening and worth the trip.
