All These Sleepless Nights
Art school classmates Kris and Michal roam the streets of Warsaw on a beat-fueled quest for self-discovery and beautiful decadence.
Adam CookSomewhere between documentary and drama, this unique film follows a cast of young folks in Warsaw made up of non-professional actors. Authentic and compelling, it captures the trials of twentysomethings over the course of a year as they navigate their daily lives. Shot in a beautiful impressionistic style, the film transforms the quotidian into something mesmerizing and sublime, exploring the challenging shift into adult life in a big city.
Wild Wild Country
Ken EisnerWe don’t learn exactly what drew so many affluent young people to the Bhagwan Rajneesh’s commune or how that led to the takeover of a tiny Oregon town in the mid-1980s. But amidst impressive archival footage and contemporary sensationalism, this fascinating series bears neutral witness to an entire city being built from scratch, then dismantled. Whole worlds -- of rural prejudice, criminal opportunism, gun love, legal overreach, and genuine idealism -- are compressed in a still-too-skimpy six-plus hours. The late Christopher Hitchens (audio book excerpted here), who joined briefly, recalled an ashram sign reading “Leave shoes and minds at the door.”
