Zazie, can you help me? Where can I find this documentary? Please, thanks.
Un des meilleurs documentaires que j'ai vu, qui laisse le jugement au spectateur. Troublant.
Essentially what a good documentary should be: The exploration of a film maker within the subject and build of narrative as he/she sees it. Jarecki clearly had a judgement on the case, and he makes this quite clear at times, however there's a brilliant ambiguity to the film that shows the 'chinese whisper' essence of human beings. I know if I watched it 10 times I'd have a new opinion each time. Absolutely brilliant.
Whew. Disturbing and amazingly effective. Ended up discussing this one for hours and hours afterward. Tremendous storytelling with a subjects ripe for debate. Watch it!
Brilliant, voyeuristic, haunting, affecting... unforgettable. I know this is just a list of adjectives and not a "review," but there are only so many hours in the day, you know?
This film stayed with me for weeks after I saw it. Seeing a real street and a real house; watching real people. And no, not Big Brother.
