Michael Mann Delivery Man
What's it like being a drug dealer ? Probably like appearing in a Michael Mann movie I imagine , That's the impression I got from Jamie Jesett's short documentary featuring a man who when he's not working as an interior designer is apprehensively waiting for a text from someone asking if they can come over and sell them some illegal substances . As Bob mentions it doesn't give great insight or motives in the life of a drug dealer but I guess that people are involved in any black market due to the profits involved . You corner a market of supply and demand and you can set your own price
I do have a slight problem with this documentary and that is it seems a little bit exaggerated . The dealer spends all day driving around London delivering drugs so either business is too good to be true or conveniently we're shown an atypical day where an interior designer doesn't need to do any interior design . It's never revealed if this interior design business is just set up to launder money and this is never brought up so it's not really a revelatory type of documentary . Going back to the Michael Mann connection London is portrayed as a futurist looking city of glass and light as you'd expect from one of his movies . Dare I say it's a case of style over illegal substance ?
