The United States of America (Benning, 2021): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 3.35pm
66th LONDON FILM FESTIVAL (5th - 16th October 2022) DAY 12
Every day (from October 5th to October 16th) I will be selecting the London Film Festival choices you have a chance to get tickets for and the movies you are unlikely to see in London very soon unless you go to see them at the Festival. Here is the LFF's main website for the general information you need. Don't worry if some of the recommended films are sold out by the time you read this as there are always some tickets on offer which go on sale 30 minutes before each screening.
BFI review:
This new feature-length version expands on the original portrait of a
nation [which groundbreaking director James Benning made in 1975], this time presenting 52 high-definition static shots of every
state plus Washington DC and Puerto Rico. We visit the vast plains of
the Midwest, the great metropolises and archetypal picket-fenced
suburbs. We witness incredible natural beauty juxtaposed with human
achievement in architecture and industry, which together begs the
question: what defines this great nation?
Helen de Witt
Here (and above) is the trailer.
