11/4/17 review of films Dragonfly Eyes and The New Fire


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the film Dragonfly Eyes, by Xu Bing, and the documentary The New Fire, by David Schumacher.

The thread gives a summary of both films. It discusses the various aspects of nuclear power explored by The New Fire. And it discusses both the plot and the found-footage techniques of Dragonfly Eyes. The thread discusses some of the shocking aspects of Dragonfly Eyes. It also discusses what the film says about surveillance.

Unfortunately, this is yet another thread of mine that has had the order of its tweets twisted around on Twitter. So it's a little hard to read.

I saw these films at the 40th annual Denver Film Festival in Denver, Colorado.
