An exceptional documentary short, made all the more impressive by the fact it was directed by film students
IN THE WEE WEE HOURS is a blistering fly-on-the-wall look at homelessness in mid-'80s downtown LA, featuring interviews with members of the community and footage shot inside a shelter and soup kitchen. The stories the men tell are heartbreaking and unsentimental, and along with the expert work of the filmmakers help paint a searing portrait of the brutality of life on the street.
Certainly not an uplifting picture, HOURS is nevertheless a vital document, and one it's unfortunate is not easier to see. It's a shame the director hasn't gone on to helm anything else, as he shows a real knack for verite.
