Temple's fragmented approach bespeaks the very nature of the place he's celebrating. For it seems that only through these wide variety of elements, these individual building blocks making a whole, that we can really get a sense of this remarkable city.
A distinct sort of time travelogue of the city's rougher patches ... the kind of doc that scores the suffragette movement to "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" by X-Ray Spex.
A movie to cherish.
A dizzying collage of all the changes in London's social and architectural fabric since light was first trained through celluloid.
A very heady experience.
This isn't the cinema's last word on London, but it will silence competitors for a few years to come.
Ultimately there's not enough invention or verve to set this apart from a competent TV documentary.
