About This Movie

New Orleans That Was offers a leisurely stroll through the vibrant and often overlooked layers of New Orleans. The film captures the essence of local life—there's something about the colors, the sounds of streetcars, and that warm Louisiana air that permeates every frame. It paints a picture of the city’s historical richness while showcasing everyday moments like the Pelicans game or the Mardi Gras Indians. The pacing feels relaxed, inviting you to soak in the atmosphere rather than rush through it. I appreciate how it intertwines personal stories with historical context. It’s an evocative tapestry of the city's identity, focusing on its neighborhoods, joys, and the subtle beauty of its culture.
