A Great Day in Harlem

I love the idea of the photograph, I wish more of that kind of stuff existed. It was also great listening to people tell stories, but you can feel the constraints of the film imposing themselves. So many stories are cut into snippets and recontextualized in the film rather than whatever the person was saying, it all feels too scattered. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but felt the filmmaking, especially the editorial choices, kept working against it and left me wishing it had more and better.
