3/22/15 review of documentary She's Beautiful When She's Angry

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the documentary She's Beautiful When She's Angry, directed by Mary Dore.

She's Beautiful When She's Angry tells the story of the feminist movement during the 1960s and 1970s. My Twitter thread discusses the structure of the documentary; lists some of the film's themes; talks about some of the new things I learned from the film.

1/3/15 review of documentary Los Angeles Plays Itself

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the Thom Andersen documentary Los Angeles Plays Itself.

Los Angeles Plays Itself is a documentary about how Los Angeles is seen through the eyes of the movie industry. My thread mentions the film's discussion of Los Angeles's "anytown" character, artifice, and malleability; how the film sees Los Angeles as a character in movies; and how the film compares Los Angeles's real history with its film-story history.
