i am so excited about the animated docudrama, chicago 10, directed by brett morgen, co-director of the kid stays in the picture.
it was the opening night film at the sundance film festival in utah. somewhat not surprisingly it wasn't subject to the same sort of bidding war by studios as other movies at the fest: i mean, what do the suits know, anyway?
my friend dee dee says that it's smart and powerful, & that's good enough for me (the reviews so far have been quite good, too). the scene i've included seems very cool, too. contemporary music, to give it some ooomph, & a you-are-there effect that is difficult to achieve in onscreen recreations of this hugely important past.
i've been inspired by the case of the chicago 7 (& bobby seale) as long as i've known about it.
