So now I will correct the correction of my post. "Nobody's Business," made in 1996, is Alan Berliner's movie about his father, as I said. "Intimate Stranger," made in 1991, is Alan's movie about his grandfather. Both are excellent.

Actually it's Intimate Stranger, and it 's about Berliner's maternal
grandfather, not his father. Very interesting portrait of his grandfather,
who was MIA within his own family after opting to spend most of his time
doing commerce in China.
