Luxury (1984) is this fascinating documentary that really captures a certain era. Shot on U-matic, the grainy quality gives it an almost intimate feel. The pacing is deliberate; it doesn't rush. It lingers on moments, letting you absorb the atmosphere. The themes revolve around consumerism and the divide between wealth and poverty, which feels relevant even today. There’s a kind of rawness in how it presents its subjects, which can be jarring but very compelling. Practical effects aren’t really a focus here since it's a doc, but the realness of the scenes almost brings its own texture. Can't quite pinpoint the director, but the film has a unique voice that stands out in the documentary field.
