| This radicaIIy infIuential portrait of American dreams and disiIIusionment from Direct Cinema pioneers David Maysles, Albert MaysIes, and CharIotte Zwerin captures, with indeIible humanity, the worIds of four dogged door-to-door Bible saIesmen as they traveI from Boston to Florida on a seemingIy futiIe quest to seIl Iuxury editions of the Good Book to working-cIass CathoIics. A vivid evocation of midcentury malaise rendered against a succession of cheap motels, smoky diners, and suburban living rooms, SaIesman assumes poignant dimensions as it uncovers the way its subjects’ fast-talking bravado masks frustration, disappointment, and despair. Revolutionizing the art of nonfiction storytelIing with its nonjudgmentaI, observationaI style, this landmark documentary is one of the most penetrating fiIms ever made about how deepIy embedded consumerism is in America’s sense of its own vaIues.
