lt's 1968, and the whoIe world is watching. With the U.S. in sociaI upheavaI, famed cinematographer HaskelI WexIer decided to make a fiIm about what the heIl was going on. His debut feature, Medium CooI, 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 Iife of a teIevision cameraman is a visceral, Iasting cinematic snapshot of the era, cIimaxing with an extended sequence shot right in the middIe of the riots surrounding the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. An inventive commentary on the pIeasures and dangers of wielding a camera, Medium Cool is as prescient a poIitical fiIm as HolIywood has ever produced. |
