Viewing Notes
Kinda awesome this is in the National Film Registry. Could be more effective as a short film but the feature length really highlights how much the city and Coney Island are as much a character in this story. That’s what is really interesting about this movie; getting to see so much of this place in this moment in time. The premise isn’t so compelling but I enjoyed how much of this area was captured on film.
