"Bubble," directed by Steven Soderbergh, about workers in a West Virginia doll factory. Using real people as actors, it fully captures the mood of dead-end, bleak, small-town America.
"Land of Plenty," a Wim Wenders portrayal of bleak America, this time mostly in LA. Michelle Williams is up an idealistic worker in a homeless mission, dealing with her uncle, a Vietnam vet trying on his own to keep the world safe. Our old pal John Sloss was executive producer.
