Review of City of Hope (1991) by Kevin B — 16 Mar 2008
1â??Saylesâ?? most ambitious film, shot in Cincinnati for $5 million, using 40 locations and 38 characters.
2â??socially conscious in the vein of Hollywoodâ??s message films.
3â??cinematographer Robert Richardsonâ??s alert camera never stands still to capture constantly-on-the-move characters, drifting among individuals crossing paths while long master shots demonstrate the interconnectedness of urban forces.
4â??What is (American Independent) Cinema? a sociological portrait of urban life at the end of the century (when old political system and old ethnic formations lost validity).
