Synopsis
There are many films about cities, with many made in the 1920s and 30s in particular. And there are a number of masterpieces as well:Dziga VERTOV's Man with a Movie Camera, Joris IVENS's Rain, and Walter RUTTMANN's Berlin, Symphony of a Big City come to mind. Weegee's New York follows this tradition, albeit in color. Weegee is a photographer. Using prism and abstract mirrors, the director dissects colors and transfigures images. In this way the director shows the images of the city in a highly expressionistic way. Weegee's New York presents us a New York that our eyes could never have seen.(PARK Dong-hyun)
