Review of Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006) by Aint Got Noin 2 Do 2Day — 31 Jan 2009
I'm not comfortable rating documentaries. Things I found interesting in this one include the positioning of the regime/city/country/ghetto and multiple international influences, such as Wyclef and, of course, US foreign policy.
I worry that the director went a bit too far in establishing the romantic story arc. But then, presumably Asger Leth is related to Jorgen Leth and he's been doing questionable but interesting things with the documentary genre boundaries for decades.
As a film, it wasn't impressive, as a subject it was fascinating.
