The intensity of the sound design demands attention. Sharpen your senses and lísten, wátch, féél.
These people have wealth and within that wealth, this is what they want. It's ordinary, horrifying and true at the same time.
The film doesn't remind us, it wants to tell us straight to our faces that consumption exists out of choices. Do you want to be full, saturated, fed, warm, rested? At what expense would you still want that?
Cognitive dissonance makes your body want to throw up, but to no avail, it's empty inside.
To be conscious of what that means is in every fiber of this film.

Life is easier to digest with a little bit of mercy towards yourself and each other. Not to mention a dose of dry humor. Perfect imperfect mix in a crisp and at the same time warm slice of life.

It's about the integrity of art and how fame is a system that services the wrong crowd if we don't watch it. Are you a fan of the music, or you just want to see a handsome face?

Paris Is Burning 1990
Finally saw this doc, after having seen the series of Pose twice. Obviously a beautiful and well made documentary about the ballroom culture. Because it is filmed from within, it is exhilarating to experience the freedom people created for themselves. And challenges the white/straight-centric thinking up to the point where even stealing (mopping) seems completely just and logic. Charged by their dreams and (if they're lucky) life experience and natural change of society and culture, life seems as hopeful for…
