Review of Los Angeles Plays Itself (2004) by Joseph H — 18 Oct 2011
An engaging and engrossing essay film on the presentation and identity of Los Angeles. Long a staple in movies, the city has served as the background, the setting, and even as a character. However, Anderson's film shows us that this often obscures the true nature of the city.
The montage of film clips is both impressive and informative, while the narration brings context and a dry wit to the proceedings. Truly a magnificent film.
