Yet this time around, he ends his film with one of the most shattering sequences of his career Jan 4, Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies If ever in the future there is a museum dedicated to the past this title will surely be endlessly looping. Audience Reviews View All 8 audience reviews. Audience Member In trying to garner a better understanding of middle America rural values and lifestyle, I was struck by the stultifying homogeneous dullness and anti-progress attitudes of their residents.
There was only one planner who was forward thinking and he was met with derision and road blocks. No wonder the young people are moving away. The cinematography was nice though. His NYC Library film was troll-worthy. This is a bit more compact at well over two hours, but it's much more interesting than his last film. Is this vintage Wiseman, no, but is it neat if it's your kind of documentary film?
