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.
Like many arty contemporary documentaries, Bisbee '17 is rather theatrical. But that's reasonable in this case...
There's no denying that Bisbee '17 has some moments of deep elegiac power or, for that matter, that Greene's ambition is boundless.
Remembering the past is not enough to prevent its recurrence. It has to be kept alive.
The sheer audacity and originality of the exercise makes it a must-see, regardless of what you might think of the success or failure of any particular choice.
