Very Nice, Very Nice (1961)
This is a powerful film that needs to be watched several times.
Arthur Lipsett created this masterpiece and it is an avant-garde combination of photography and sound. It looks behind the business-as-usual face we put on life and shows anxieties we want to forget. The film is a combination of sound clips and images from unused film. He blends the images and sound together to create a unique version of modern life and society in cities. The sound and images are cut together to create what you see, a film that invokes strong emotional reactions. Its funny and horrifying… what more could you ask for from a Canadian film?
