The way he captures the landmarks, both historical and contemporary, creates this beautiful dialogue between past and present. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to linger on each frame, soaking in the essence of the city. There’s a rawness to the practical effects that grounds it, pulling you out of the heavy-handed stylization often seen in documentaries. It’s the local stories and the warmth of the people that truly breathe life into it, making it distinctive in the crowded field of urban documentaries.
