I saw Invasion: Anime at the 2003 Great Lakes Film Festival.
Helen McCarthy was particularly insightful. She gave me the impression that to share a dinner conversation would be the very height of well-spent time.
Mingling with guests at the convention I was disheartened to find that appreciation of documentary is declining. It really is unfortunate, and a statement particularly true of American audiences. How has our appreciation for art become thusly decimated?
A certain amount of elitism leveled against this film due to its subject matter. Sad, really. Invasion: Anime, like all good documentary work, is more about the human condition than exclusivistic premise. The skilled documentarian, like the actor or director, strives to open the awareness of her audience to knew thoughts. Angela Alexander is certainly successful.
One hopes this film will open doors for further forays into filmaking for Ms. Alexander. She certainly has an uncommon talent.
Thoughtful. Insightful. Certainly recommended. Invasion: Anime is for anyone geared more for the novitiate, those NOT completely versed in the genre of anime. This film opens doors with a come-as-you-are simplistic elegance that serve to broaden the potential audience base completely into the mainstream. And the list of individual artists and commentators that made themselves available to Ms. Alexander is certainly testament to her ability.
Definitely a piece worth the effort if you find it available in your area. As of this writing, September 2003, this film has not been picked up for distribution and is available only on the film festival circuit. Hopefully that won't long be the case.
