City

About This Movie

So, 'City' from 1983 is a fascinating documentary that feels more like an experimental visual poem than a straightforward narrative. The director—whose name escapes me—plays with geometric divisions of the frame, creating this almost hypnotic rhythm. The everyday lives of people juxtaposed with the city walls around them really stands out. It's like you're peering into a kaleidoscope of urban existence, and those trick shots? They add an intriguing layer, bending your perception of reality. The pacing is deliberate, inviting you to linger on moments you might normally overlook. It's not just about the city; it's a reflection of humanity itself, as simple and complex as that.
