Je suis tombée sur ce documentaire un peu par hasard en regardant les programmes de la chaîne TCM. Ma curiosité m'a permis de découvrir un documentaire merveilleusement bien réalisé et qui retrace les différents films politiques à Hollywood depuis le début des années 1910 à nos jours. Le documentaire s'affranchit du montage traditionnel car il ne présente pas les films de manière chronologique mais il fonctionne par thématique. Je recommande vivement ce documentaire aux personnes passionnées de films politiques (ou pas).
This episode in Turner Classic Movies on-going series of documentaries takes a look at political films that Hollywood has turned out over the years. A large number of people are interviewed including Oliver Stone, Rob Reiner, James Cromwell, James Carville, Bob Gale and Illeana Douglas among others. Like most films in this series, one really doesn't learn anything here as we basically have people telling us about various political films like FAIL SAFE, THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, JFK, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON and others while the entire time ruining each of their endings.
If you've never seen any of these political movies and they start discussing it then it would be smart for you to hit…
