Did the reviewer sleep through much of the movie? I just saw it, and it\’s completely untrue that it fails to convey a sense of community or to show the tenants together. It\’s clear they all knew each other, and there are many examples of their interaction. One of the more humorous ones involves NYT photographer Bill Cunningham, who collaborates with two of his colorful neighbors in creating a book of New York photographs.

Wow. What a pretentious review. I saw this last night and found it rather poignant. The fact that the filmmaker lived there gave the film a sense of immediacy. It made me think of Penn Station, and that we appear to be going through another phase of historic indifference that saw the demise of that grand old structure. That\’s progress, and that\’s Life. True. But some little pockets should escape and survive.
