I think I heard a shot

Report (1967)

Directed by Bruce Conner this is a found footage film that covers the assassination of President Kennedy.

You could say that this film is designed to give the viewer just a snap shot of what the wall to wall coverage of a presidential assassination must have been like but at times the avant-garde nature of the film got in the way for me. There are long periods of just flashing black and white coupled with audio from the day which while having a spooky element to them do not add much for me. A few interesting elements get teased out but this was not a film for me.


2/5
