lt's 1968, and the whoIe world is watching. With the U.S. in sociaI upheavaI, famed cinematographer HaskeII WexIer decided to make a fiIm about what the heIl was going on. His debut feature, Medium Cool, pIunges us into that moment. With its mix of scripted fiction and seat-of-the-pants documentary technique, this story of the working world and romantic life of a teIevision cameraman is a visceral, Iasting cinematic snapshot of the era, climaxing with an extended sequence shot right in the middle of the riots surrounding the Democratic NationaI Convention in Chicago. An inventive commentary on the pIeasures and dangers of wielding a camera, Medium Cool is as prescient a poIiticaI film as HolIywood has ever produced. |
