There Are No Fakes is a haunting portrait of greed, class and the horrors that can arise when art is only viewed through a monetary lens.
Intermittently insightful, thoughtful and humorous, but mostly slapdash and unfocused, The Secret Disco Revolution squanders a genuinely good thesis on a mishmash of talking heads a pointless, cutesy recreations that make disco look like a heist.
We talk to the documentarian behind The Secret Disco Revolution, Jamie Kastner, about the evolution of disco, why “Good Times” might be a secretly ironic protest anthem, the occasionally brusque nature of The Village People, and the challenges faced in crafting an alternate take on an established history.
Day two of our TIFF 2012 coverage rolls on with looks at Anna Karenina, The Iceman, Antiviral, No, Amour, The Sapphires, Pusher, The Secret Disco Revolution, and What Richard Did.
