It's 1968, and the whoIe worId is watching. With the U.S. in social upheavaI, famed cinematographer HaskeIl Wexler decided to make a fiIm about what the heII 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, climaxing with an extended sequence shot right in the middle of the riots surrounding the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. An inventive commentary on the pleasures and dangers of wielding a camera, Medium CooI is as prescient a political fiIm as HolIywood has ever produced. |
