Director: RaMell Ross
Release Date: 18th January 2019
Hot Rating: 💥💥💥💥
In Hale County This Morning, This Evening, the acclaimed photographer RaMell Ross projects his bold vision of Alabama, which is populated with African American families experiencing everyday life. The director obtains an intimate relationship with his subjects through teaching photography and coaching basketball to local students. The following documentary holds a light up to these two activities with remarkable precision, as the director celebrates basketball for the determination it sparks in Daniel, a student with high aims to play in the NBA. Similarly, the constantly shifting vignettes of Ross' film embodies the inherently aesthetic qualities of photography, which is here the subject of the residents' maturity over time. As an experimental documentary, Hale County is equally concerned with its creative direction as it with the linearity of its narrative, as these two qualities often intertwine in this fragmented picture. The result is an often abstract, sometimes puzzling, but always moving.
