How to, with John Wilson answered many of the questions I had about New York,
that it is just a filthy city, with the inexplicable constant under-construction facade, and a
mesh of wonderfully layered personalities that roam its streets. But still maybe
rightly maintains the allure and fascination to me as an outsider.
I mean, where else on this earth would one find a store dedicated to selling whistles? And still, thrive? There are probably many other places around the world, that have a big enough demented market to sell one variation of an item and manage to stay in business.
Six, thirty-minute episodes that say they are about one vaguely interesting
thing you want to know more about, but turn out to be a commentary on a
completely different thing that you probably have strong feelings about on any
given day.
Like Pretend It’s a City with Fran Lebowitz, this documentary
series leaves you all warm inside with the appreciation for a city that I’ve
never visited but feel like I know intimately.
What a gem of a documentary! But
beware, there are a lot of gasping moments that may take a while to recover
from.
