Blog Action Day : 2 More Films About Poverty

Wendy Cohen | 1 year ago | Comments (2) | Flag this

One more post in honor of Blog Action Day! Earlier I posted a list of 10 films that deal with poverty - they were all American made films.   Below is a clip from one of the great foreign films to deal with poverty - Umberto D. In the story an old man can't find work and also can't give up his faithful companion - his dog - even though it would make life much easier for him.   After the jump an interview with Kelly Reichardt and Michelle Williams about their film Wendy and Lucy,  a film I saw at the NYFF -  it also addresses poverty and how ones love of a dog can make poverty all the more difficult. (I really recommend watching)
