The Filmcake

OFCC’s Kathryn Jenson White saw American Teen Thursday night and wonders:

Where does it fit into the documentary genre, I ask with pleasure and excitement? Are there Errol Morris recreations within it but without the change in film style to signal them? Do the clever and very, very good animated sequences for each character signal, too, that the lines between fact and fiction/documentary and narrative feature are blurring, blurring, blurred?

Ooh, I love a film that sparks questions. And, I can’t wait to catch this one. It’s playing again tonight at Harkins. And I also kind of wish I was still in school and could enroll in her documentary film class. Oh, well…
