A Night at the Garden (2017)

Nominated for 1 Academy Award*:

Best Documentary Short Subject

(*nominated by its 2018 release date)

 

A Night at the Garden is not really a documentary, as we know it, to be honest. 😊 It’s just footage, without interviews, voice-overs or much context. The footage is powerful though. It’s about a huge American Nazi rally from 1939, years before the US had joined the war. Strange to see the swastikas at Madison Square Garden, but this is what happened.

The real-life subject would make a great movie, I’m sure, but this very short documentary just isn’t enough.

 

I give it: 6?/10
