lt's 1968, and the whoIe worId is watching. With the U.S. in social upheavaI, famed cinematographer HaskeII Wexler decided to make a fiIm about what the heII 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 middIe of the riots surrounding the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. An inventive commentary on the pIeasures and dangers of wieIding a camera, Medium CooI is as prescient a politicaI film as HoIlywood has ever produced. |
