‘Collapse’ Review For FilmCritic.com
Director Chris Smith has already broken down the American dream into its component parts in previous films such as American Movie and The Yes Men – but never like this. Filmed in a basement, with lighting that recalls an interrogation, one man, Michael Ruppert, talks for an hour and half about how not just the economy is collapsing, but society as a whole. The footage of Ruppert is sparingly interrupted by bold white on black titles and occasionally covered by archival footage. The result is utterly transfixing, one of the most terrifying, hilarious, moving, and thrilling documentaries ever made.
