A fascinating exercise in nonfiction filmmaking as a performative, interdisciplinary, collective act, as well as a provocative inquiry into how selective memory, ideology, shame and unspeakable trauma shape what we come to accept as official history.
It would be enough for any documentary to tell this piece of hushed-up history, but Bisbee '17 is onto something more radical; watching it is like witnessing the defusing of a time bomb from a foot away.
An interesting if unfulfilling documentary experiment...
Greene has made a hard movie to argue with, even as he invites you to do exactly that.
In some respects "Bisbee '17" serves as a kind of therapy for the town. But it's still difficult material.
Greene's movie... grows into an adventurous exercise in drama-documentary; what could have seemed arch or awkward is handled with grace and tact, and there is even a song.
