The Florida Project (Sean Baker, 2017, USA)
Ben Livant says:
So powerfully did The Florida Project affect my emotions, it is a challenge for me to give it an intellectual reflection. I attempt to do so now because I am just as much intensely sympathetic to the ideological substance of the film. Even though my selfish inclination is to avoid addressing this work of art analytically so I can just cherish the experience of having seen it, I mean here to promote TFP in no uncertain terms so I can help it receive the widest possible audience. Including children. Perhaps especially children.
When the title of the film became known to me, I misunderstood its meaning in a way that ultimately turned out to be even more correct. I took the word project to refer to an assigned task to undertake, a scheduled job to complete.
