The Heretics

documentary

Interesting piece on a magazine founded by a group of women artists in NYC in the 70's. They saw themselves as the second wave of feminism and claimed great influence over the culture. Perhaps so but to me the shift in women's place in our society was widespread, seismic and these folks really were riding the wave.

Once again this doc was marred by the use of extreme close-ups when interviewing people. I'm baffled at what modern filmmakers think they are doing with this technique. I find it very off-putting and wish they'd stop.
