The Sunshine Hotel

     This film is a documentary about a place that houses many different people. The film itself has a very grainy texture to it but, seeing as most of the things in the film just seem dirty, and there is vulgar language throughout the film, it makes sense as towht they would make it so grainy. It adds an element to highlight all this nastiness happening in our world. There are a lot of different kinds of people that are also highlighted in the film. One that stood out to me was the drag queen. This film is placed in New York, where the Sunshine Hotel is located. At the end of the film, there atour guide that is showing middle-class people the hotel and there are shots of all the occupants closing the windows, as if in shame of living there.


     There is a variety of lighting techniques that are used in the film, along with shots, costuming (which the people wore themselves), and of course, the people themselves. I would dare to state that this is acontroversial film because of the fact that the director decided to elicit attention to the Sunshine Hotel. There is not much else that could really be said about this film, other than that as a documentary, it
could also be classified as adocu-drama.


     So, until next time--
