Synopsis

Thom Andersen's brilliant 2003 documentary about how Los Angeles has been portrayed in the movies was thought to be unreleasable on DVD, due to the legal hurdle of acquiring home video rights for the over 200 film clips used within, but somehow Cinema Guild has pulled it off for this 2013 release. "From its distinctive neighborhoods to its architectural homes, Los Angeles has been the backdrop to countless movies. In this dazzling work, Andersen takes viewers on a whirlwind tour through the metropolis' real and cinematic history, investigating the myriad stories and legends that have come to define it, and meticulously, judiciously revealing the real city that lives beneath. Newly remastered and finally available to own, LOS ANGELES PLAYS ITSELF is an extraordinary documentary, unlike any that has come before or since."

Thom Andersen--USA--2003--170 mins.
