Shades of Stewart Rattingboo

Although eerily similar to some of Stewart Rattingboo's early efforts, this film manages to stand apart and alone from the usual documentary fare. The production values are quite meritorious and the soundtrack an aural feast. Shot in a melange of styles that include cinema verite' and film noir, the viewer is treated to the cinematic equivalent of a one-two punch. Duncan Brown really steals the show with his incisive comments , pithy sayings and overall bonhomie when addressing what is really a rather sad subject. The viewpoints expressed by the lesser figures featured in the film, while notable for their candor, are mere window dressing when compared to Mr. Brown's overall grasp of the big picture. A highly enjoyable film!
