0 item(s) Los Angeles Plays Itself   Part of the series Not Coming to a Theater Near You, presented by the film blog of the same name. Editors Rumsey Taylor, Leo Goldsmith/Jenny Jediny introduce the film. A "city symphony in reverse" (J. Hoberman, Village Voice), Thom Andersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself dismantles not only popular stereotypes about The City of Angels, but also its most famous trademark, Hollywood. Packed with clips from nearly 200 films set in Los Angeles (not L.A., the nickname despised by the film's narrator), Andersen's immersive cine-essay divides and examines the city threefold: as background, character and subject. Drawing us into a fanatical, almost secret urban history Los Angeles Plays Itself is at once a hilarious travelogue and mesmerizing experience. Director: Thom Andersen. 169 mins. 2003.
