Do it Yourself

About This Movie

So, 'Do it Yourself' is this intriguing little documentary from '82 that dives into the whole throw-away culture, you know? It’s not really slick, but that’s part of its charm. The editing feels a bit haphazard at times, which actually plays into the atmosphere of chaos surrounding consumerism and media saturation. It’s almost like a collage of moments that captures the absurdity of TV and disposability. The pacing is a bit erratic too, but I think it adds to the urgency of the message. There’s a rawness to the visuals that keeps it grounded, almost like a home video feel. It’s distinctive for its unfiltered look into everyday life and the impact of media on our choices. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors.
