So, 'London' (2015) is this intriguing documentary, a personal journey really. It opens with a clear intention – the director wants to shoot a music video for The Smiths' 'London.' The use of Super 8 adds this gritty, nostalgic vibe, which feels so fitting for the subject matter. You can almost feel the city's pulse through the grainy footage. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere of '90s London. The blend of music and imagery weaves a tale of longing and urban life. There’s something about the practical effects, like the in-camera edits, that feels authentically raw, and that’s where the charm lies. It doesn’t aim for perfection but captures a moment in time beautifully.
