The camera shows views of the Victorian city of Liverpool while residents deliver comments off-camera what they feel about their relocation to large housing estates while the old inner city buildings are being pulled down. Even if the living conditions were not great the sense of community and feeling at home has been lost after moving to the new flats.

This is the first film by British documentarian Nick Broomfield.

The post Nick Broomfield – Who Cares (1971) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Racist, patriotic, and imperialistic, the subjects of Broomfield’s second film – in which citizens from across the class spectrum are asked for their views about being British and Britain in general – manage to hang themselves, without the need of any commentary, with their own arrogant, complacent views.

Gathering numerous face-to-face interviews with residents of the conservative stronghold of Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Broomfield paints an ironic portrait of racist parochial views. Spread throughout the community, from the working class patriot Mr Feltham, to the local MP Ronald Bell and even the vicar, we see a cast of regressive, hypocritical creatures.

The post Nick Broomfield – Behind the Rent Strike (1974) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

For two weeks, Nick Broomfield and a documentary crew visit Pandora’s Box, an up-scale house of bondage on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, where clients pay $175 an hour to be subservient to mistresses. Mistresses talk about their craft; a few clients, usually masked, are interviewed as well. Then, the camera watches sessions organized around fetishes: rubber, wrestling, corporal punishment, masochism, and infantilism. Mistress Raven, the owner of Pandora’s Box, explains that pain need not be part of the subservient experience: it is, at its root, a transfer of power. After their session has ended, clients talk about how drained, relaxed, relieved, and at peace they are.

The post Nick Broomfield – Fetishes (1996) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Lonnie Franklin Jr was arrested in July 2010 after a 25 year killing spree in which it is thought he could have killed over a 100 victims, potentially making him the most prolific serial killer in history. Significantly his arrest was not the product of painstaking detective work but completely accidental, the result of a computer DNA match that linked him to a possible 20 victims. Franklin now awaits trial. Tales of the Grim Sleeper looks into how it was possible for all this to happen.

Rolling Stone:
“British documentarian Nick Broomfield had been searching for a story to tell about his adopted home of Los Angeles ever since he moved to the city in the mid-Nineties. His new film, Tales of the Grim Sleeper, is a quintessential L.A. tale — a gruesome true-crime tale rooted in the the social and economic inequalities that plague the city.

“When I came across the story of the Grim Sleeper,” Broomfield tells Rolling Stone, “what was amazing about it was that it was about a community that was abandoned, about disposable people…which is why it took a computer to catch a serial killer, who might have killed over a hundred people.”

Tales of the Grim Sleeper tells the harrowing story of the 30-year search (or lack thereof) for a Los Angeles serial killer who was accused of 12 grisly homicides — and possibly committed far more — between the mid-Eighties and 2010, when the alleged murderer Lonnie Franklin was arrested. While the L.A.P.D. knew early on that the Sleeper was targeting black women in South Central Los Angeles, they did not alert the community of that fact until 2007.

In this chat with Rolling Stone, Broomfield talks about the challenge of entering the disenfranchised, depressed South Central community as an outsider, as well as how the Grim Sleeper’s story relates to the recent killings of unarmed black men by police in Ferguson and Staten Island.

“I think it’s about disenfranchised people who don’t have a voice, who do not have the right to participate in local politics, in the selection of the kind of police force they want. We’ve seen this in Ferguson, it’s exactly the same in downtown Los Angeles, it’s exactly the same probably in parts of New York and Chicago and any big urban city area — and it reflects a bigger set of political priorities which have gone very astray since the late Seventies.”

“Best Documentary of the Year.”
“An increasingly powerful and finally devastating documentary – one of the best in several years. Hard to watch but essential.”

– David Edelstein, New York Magazine

“The revelations come fast and horrific. With Ferguson still in the public conscious, the film serves as shocking re-enforcement of official neglect for crimes against African-Americans.”

– Scott Tobias, The Dissolve

“A powerful, gripping endeavor.”
“A masterstroke of polemical fury.”
“It’s the subjects – living and dead – who tell the story.”

– Eric Kohn, Indiewire

“[Broomfield’s] finest work to date.”
“Mesmerizing, chilling, and greatly disturbing. A meditation on race, class, institutional racism and abject horror.”
“The movie burns in the memory.”
“Broomfield cedes much of the film to the outsized and remarkable personality of Pam Brooks… an enthralling figure, touching, warm, emphatic and riotously profane and funny.”

– Patrick McGavin, RogerEbert.com
