The story of the making of Street Trash (1987) is told with interviews and clips.
A very complete presentation. I appreciated the 2 hour duration because I like to hear about making movies and I liked Street Trash. Don't stop watching when the credits roll either. There are hidden gems mixed in there. The information density was moderate. It seemed like a nice blend of serious information and comedic entertainment to me. The "plot" of this doc goes from pre-production planning, through filming and release and a "where are they now" type of segment at the end which even includes views of the filming locations. Interviewees were chosen very well. Almost the entire cast and crew were represented. Camera-work was not the best, but not bad. There was pretty much one angle per interviewee and this was mixed with clips from the film, deleted scenes, still photos and important text that was worth reading. There were varying video qualities and exposures between different video elements. The same can be said for audio. The newest interviews mostly looked and sounded best. An exception to this was the Christian cast member whose microphone was too far away. The old footage of cast and crew making the actual film was worst in both areas. This has a 8.0/10 on IMDB and the reviewer on DVD Talk seemed to like it quite a bit. I rate it good for subject matter and completeness.
