Manchester
Titicut Follies (18)
Frederick Wiseman?s landmark debut film takes us inside a Massachusetts institution for the criminally insane, unflinchingly documenting the treatment and mistreatment of inmates.
Wiseman?s unique ability to observe and sculpt reality using the techniques of cinema is already clearly on show in Titicut Follies. Here, the filmmaker often blurs the distinction between doctors and patients, and chooses not to barrage his audience with a didactic message of self-righteous anger, but instead presents an engrossing document of a situation that is by turns tragic, complex and harrowing.?
