Review of Medium Cool (1969) by Ryder S — 29 Aug 2008
A very important film that was well ahead of it's time. Haskell Wexler seemlessly weaves real life documentary footage with his intelligent (fictional) story which in itself weaves the story of many dicotomy of the american experience.
One of the most powerful themes examined in this film is the ethics and role of the camera man (person), in both news media and by extension the bias, partizen or even fictionialized world of hollywood.
Very thought provoking, a revolution in american cinema and an important companian to any study of verite cinema.
