[my comments assume that you’ve already read the AFF description that I link to in each movie title]
Red Without Blue — I just didn’t see much unique or compelling in this; it does makes you think about how people need companionship to survive, and shows what kinds of things can happen when that companionship is removed. Not one of the best I’ve seen, but I didn’t ever have the urge to walk out either.
Revolution ’67 — The Newark riots of July 1967. A mismash of facts and interviews, chaotic flow, stupid graphics, and a severe POV problem, like a push poll. In 90 minutes I saw just one really interesting point about how the police distorted the facts about the presence of black snipers — used to justify their ugly response which resulted in over 20 bystander deaths, all at the point of police bullets. Makes the point that the urban riots of 1964-1968 (500 of them) have been suppressed in historical views of the 60’s and civil rights era as not being relevant, and this documentary serves to try to correct that. As with nearly all docs, I’m glad I went and learned something, in this case about late 60’s urban politics and police lies, but on balance this was a pretty bad doc.
