Took a break fro my jim jarmusch marathon to check out an odeon dvd I picked up cheap in a charity show called BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME.
Directed by phillipe mora, it cuts together newsreel footage and clips from classic movies to present the era of the great depression. No voiceover or attempt at documentary it feels more like a very interesting experiment and certainly the most intersting film i've seen with phillipe moras name attached!
It gives an interesting look at depression era movies and feels like a very fresh approach to traditional documentary film-making.
