KOKOMO CITY Reviews
It's impressive how gripping a documentary can be that only lives from the narrated portraits of its protagonists. How the form of the documentary is played with in both the 'talking head' sequences and the almost experimental-looking cutscenes, the narrative is illustrated and re-contextualized. How music is played with, different filmmaking techniques. Of course, every documentary of this kind stands or falls with the selection of those documented. And these four women are simply amazing. I could listen to their stories for many more hours. And delight in the incredibly beautiful photography. Conclusion: Technically great documentary that playfully manages to translate the thoughts and feelings of its protagonists into cinematic images.
One of the best docs of the year definitely deserved an Oscar nomination atleast but the academy doesn't watch movies they aren't paid too sooo excited where this director goes apparently it their first!?
Beautifully shot doc
terrible and a waste of time...never again
KC is a gorgeous, moving experience! It's visually, emotionally but also intellectually gripping, zipping through language and ideas married to image and story with substance and energy. And even with all its intensity, it's really fun.
Absolutely riveting and entertaining, great cinematography & very educational , brings human faces n emotions to the often misunderstood lives of the community
Powerful film bringing light to an unseen community!
The greatest 01 hour: and 13 minutes of real footage about the "other" people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
