Daydream Nation is an intriguing documentary that pulls back the curtain on the often-overlooked lives of garbage collectors in a sprawling city like Los Angeles. It’s not just about trash; it’s a raw look at the grit and grind of those who keep our urban spaces clean. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really absorb the stories of five key figures, blending their personal struggles with broader themes of class and labor. The atmospheric shots of the city juxtaposed with the mundane yet crucial work of these collectors creates a striking contrast. What stands out is the candidness of their performances—these are real people sharing their reality, making it a poignant viewing experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
