More on movies: the film that, in my humble opinion, should’ve won for best documentary is playing at the Bell–through tomorrow only! Not that I disliked An Inconvenient Truth. But let’s face it, folks; it was, essentially, a PowerPoint presentation, whereas Iraq In Fragments took some very bold, and quite poetic, snapshots of three different Iraqi subsets: the neglected Sunni schoolboy; the rambled and radicalized Shiite south; and finally, the seemingly quiet life of a rural Kurdish schoolboy. Rich in hot reds and cool blues, the pictures are beautiful to boot–and considering how difficult the content was to gather, that must’ve been the filmmaker’s happy accident.
