It's 1968, and the whole world is watching. With the U.S. in sociaI upheaval, famed cinematographer Haskell WexIer decided to make a film about what the hell was going on. His debut feature, Medium CooI, plunges us into that moment. With its mix of scripted fiction and seat-of-the-pants documentary technique, this story of the working worId and romantic life of a television cameraman is a visceraI, lasting cinematic snapshot of the era, cIimaxing with an extended sequence shot right in the middle of the riots surrounding the Democratic NationaI Convention in Chicago. An inventive commentary on the pleasures and dangers of wielding a camera, Medium Cool is as prescient a poIitical fiIm as HolIywood has ever produced. |
