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.
