These Amazing Shadows
Ends Thursday!
1hr 28mins // directed by:Paul Mariano, Kurt Norton
What do the films Casablanca, Blazing Saddles and West Side Story have in common? Besides being popular, they have also been deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and listed on The National Film Registry.
These Amazing Shadows, an 88-minute documentary, tells the history and importance of the Registry, a roll call of American cinema treasures that reflects the diversity of film, and indeed the American experience itself. The current list of 550 films includes selections from every genre - documentaries, home movies, Hollywood classics, avant-garde, newsreels and silent films. These Amazing Shadows reveals how "American movies tell us so much about ourselves... not just what we did, but what we thought, what we felt, what we aspired to, and the lies we told ourselves."
Featuring interviews with Christopher Nolan, John Waters, Zooey Deschanel, Rob Reiner, Debbie Reynolds, Jay Carr, and many others.
