Reviews

[Mehdi · Rating 4 out of 5]

An intimate, humanist portrait of New York through the second half of the 20th century. Stettner excels at capturing fleeting moments of joy - two boys playing on a derelict street corner - or unexpected beauty - a homeless woman peacefully sleeping, her facial expression perfectly composed.
