<nettime> the politics of daily life - _Raising Victor Vargas_ |
I finally did it. I got sick of the war footages and went to Times Square to enjoy something else. _Raising Victor Vargas_ is a film that just opened at the AMC there and plays in Loisaida. I know the Latino cast because they played in some of my shorts, but now Peter Sollett has found a way to bring them to celluloid. The younger populace shines as the struggle unfolds from buzzer to pool. Technology is used to send signals of significance - the phone is tossed out the window in the opening scene but people find ways to enter and exit none the less. Privacy is practiced in public spaces because the home is a claustrophobic enclave where cultures meet - a museum. A quarter on the street buys trinkets which add to the assemblage.
