@ MoMA (Best Films Not Playing at a Theater Near You)
This was pretty intense, but also funny here and there, maybe due to the emotional distance cultivated by all the static shots. It's a series of vignettes set among "at-risk youth" in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1997. Perhaps most memorable is the insertion of footage from R. Budd Dwyer's infamous last press conference before one of the less developed characters leaps from a bridge. Footage of civil rights protests, monologue readings over a black screen, and other techniques are used to set the mood and put the kids in context.
