This documentary is a a stroke of genius! The way Alan Berliner illustrates his points by using everything from commercials, file footage, old movies, scenes from some of his other documentaries an interviews is great. And he obviously takes great care in choosing just the right shot, whether it lasts 10 frames or 10 seconds.
There is never a dull moment and every shot and cut adds a layer to the story which keeps the story progressing. His use of sound sets the pace and creates different moods during the documentary and his sense of humor is always present. It's in his choice of shots, sounds, the very skillful editing and his persona throughout the documentary.
Now I am just waiting for the DVD :-)
