Fantastic!
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
I saw this documentary as part of the 2014 AV Festival in Tyneside and I was looking to forward to seeing it. Sadly, this is a really flawed film despite the interesting subject matter. Hopefully, a better film can be made which addresses these issues.No-one can help that the quality of archive film used isn't great because that's all the filmmakers have got to use. However, the film had chunks of narration repeated immediately for no reason on a number of occasions. Equally, annoying was a singer who frankly cannot sing. A wasted opportunity although the question and answer the audience had afterwords with the filmmakers via Skype had some interest.
