A film about films about a place. Features dozens of clips of films about LA. The movie is interested in the relationship between representation and reality, both regarding Los Angeles specifically but also generally about how any place is produced in and through image and sound (how it becomes the place we know as that place). Not to mention a testament to the creative and destructive tendencies of capitalism as la Schumpeter, and how film depicts the low and high art aspects of a place. Describing one film, the narrator comments: “it acknowledges the pastness of its present.” Even a segment on LAPD as depicted in films. Good film.
