Regarded as one of America's finest, if unsung, film critics, Manny Farber has won acclaim for his unusual approach to movie analysis, which dispenses with general plot description in favour of considering the concepts of light, tempo and, above all, space. This film uses and expands on Farber's work to explore the USA's vast expanses and also how people regard and recall films. Contains strong material. Director Chris Petit : Producer Keith Griffiths
