This will be expanded later on.
Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room
A smart, revealing documentary that leans too heavily on pop music in the first half. However, it makes up for everything during the closing credits, thumping financial stats to Tom Waits’ “God’s Away On Business.”
Children Of Men
A weird combination of dense and spare, Children combines long shots with showers of ads, background graffiti, and other incidental information that helps viewers put together a picture of the world around it. The clashes are brutally real, and the overall question posed is a terrifying one. Highly recommended.
Strangers With Candy
This early Comedy-Central cult favorite still has a unique and daring personality. Hint: Watch all the extras; Colbert and Amy Sedaris are at their best in their mistakes and dance-number breakouts.
