Film: Last Train Home and Up the Yangtze



Cinéma vérité (French: [sinema veʁite], "truthful cinema"; English: /ˈsɪnɨmə vɛrɨˈteɪ/) is a style of documentary filmmaking, combining naturalistic techniques with stylized cinematic devices of editing and camerawork, staged set-ups, and the use of the camera to provoke subjects. -- Wikipedia

This is all so thought-provoking. Perhaps teach a class on vérité in film, prose and poetry.
