Drifters (1929)
I agree!
Although one must keep in mind that it was Grierson's first major effort at Documentary film-making, it is brutal to watch.
Most of the scenes are much too long and the movements of the camera are downright nauseating.
The importance of the film should not be forgotten however. Grierson was a major player in documentary film-making and his influence is still felt today.
Nonetheless, this movie is still terrible to watch and will only be watched by many (I assume) because of its historical significance. No entertainment factor at play here. No way!
Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography (1981)
I was speechless.
I saw this movie today in my documentary class. Unfortunately, I won't be able to show this movie to others because it's impossible to find. What a shame really..
This movie was amazing. I'd never really considered pornography from a feminist point of view, so to be exposed to this movie was really shocking. Some of the scenes are hard to watch, I must admit.
I think it's great that the director is accompanied by Linda who is a stripper. It's great to see Linda's reaction at the end of the film when she has been through a "Hustler" type photo shoot.
And was I the only one completely disturbed by the lady photographer? Eek.
If you have any social conscience, you must see this movie.
