Manhatta

Watch Film

Release Year: 1921

Director: Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand

Review: This is a short dedicated to the filmmaker's love for New York City.  It's essentially a bunch of shots of the city strung together.  The problem is it's pretty grainy and lifeless.  I love the idea of getting a glimpse of what the city was like in the early 1920's, but this really disappointed me.
Rating: 2/5
