IFFBoston ’14 Review: Life on the V: The Story of V66

By Vatche   Posted in Front Page IFFBoston Movies Reviews
Posted on April 28, 2014

I’m fascinated by risks in broadcast television. Probably because it isn’t something you see too often. Television is an expensive medium and despite investments; It’s completely supported by advertisers, and it is hard to justify any risk taking without the fear of losing your investors. In “Life on the V: The Story of V66,” the …

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a first feature from a filmmaker and been as impressed as I was with “Dear White People.” Justin Simien’s film has such a tight narrative, woven with deep social commentary and satire, and told by an amazing ensemble of characters.

The assimilation of an immigrant populations culture is fascinating, but it would never have occurred to me to use a signature dish as a tool to tell the story of Chinese-American’s. “The Search of General Tso,” from director Ian Cheney, asks and answers some great questions in his documentary, including, but not limited to “Who …
