Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFrederick Wiseman shot 150 hours of footage and crafted a 197 minute film in approximately one year of editing. The movie ended up taking place during seven days, which fits the number of days the New York Public Library opens its doors during a regular week, with the last day, Sunday, being the one in which the Library facilities are opened for less hours. "Sunday" is also the day with the least minutes in the structure of the film: 19 minutes, compared to the approximate 30 minutes per day for the previous six days of the week.
Featured review
Interesting but far too long
I was surprised and delighted to learn of the various services and facets of the NY public library, especially how they are trying to ensure everyone has an opportunity to access services and information. I wish our library services in the UK were as diverse and well funded. Only criticism of the film is the running time. I felt I could have understood the intended impact of the film in half the time.
