New York City of Cities is a fascinating documentary that captures the essence of New York in the late '80s. Directed by Pater May, it’s less about the glitzy highlights and more about the soul of the city. The pacing is contemplative, weaving through everyday life and the hidden stories that dwell in the cracks of the concrete jungle. Practical effects are minimal, but the raw, unfiltered footage brings an authenticity that's often lacking in more polished productions. The atmosphere is layered, with a mix of hope and grit. There's a palpable connection to the city's rhythm and its people, making it feel like a time capsule. It’s a unique take that many documentaries fail to achieve, lingering in the viewer's mind long after the credits roll.
