★★★★ · "Just run around on the streets for awhile.." · Spuzz · 2022-12-29
Nifty movie showing activities in the Bronx section of New York. Lots of kids in a probably not so kid friendly neighborhood, but hey, they made it their own, and this film sure does a good job of showing the melting pot of cultures living there. Kids are playing, some adults here and there, and a few nuns, but there's a lot of free activity going on in the streets for sure. This is another film that I am not 100% sure if it's a "home movie" or not, or whether it was made for another purpose, like the subway one. Maybe it was made by the same people.
