Another great Sayles ensemble cast piece.

I saw a couple reviews here calling "City of Hope" the "Crash" before "Crash". I think that sums it up quite well. This is a more emotionally complex version, in fact, forgoing the "gotcha" cleverness of "Crash" as you begin to realize how all the characters are connect, and instead connecting all the characters in a much more organic plot structure. I'm biased because I've become a big John Sayles fan, but he really is the most consistent storyteller I've encountered in my movie viewing. And as with all of his films, there are large social themes that are humanized in a great cast, including city corruption, racism, and poverty. And this really is a stellar cast; Joe Morton in particular shines as a city councilman struggling between his ethics and the "greater good". David Strathairn has a small, but excellent and very un-Strathairn-like role as a mentally ill homeless man. A satisfying, complex story.

1â??Saylesâ?? most ambitious film, shot in Cincinnati for $5 million, using 40 locations and 38 characters 2â??socially conscious in the vein of Hollywoodâ??s message films 3â??cinematographer Robert Richardsonâ??s alert camera never stands still to capture constantly-on-the-move characters, drifting among individuals crossing paths while long master shots demonstrate the interconnectedness of urban forces 4â??What is (American Independent) Cinema? a sociological portrait of urban life at the end of the century (when old political system and old ethnic formations lost validity)
