Videoheaven

Do you know those investigative, educational YouTube videos? This film is exactly like that, and its focus is the history of the video rental space, especially as portrayed in different movies.

The film is an endless narration that desperately tries to find metaphors and connective tissue inside the movies it discusses, but it made my eyes roll. I believe even the heaviest cinephiles would find it hard to sit through this endless academic-sentence audio-book readings. You might learn something about the history of video rental stores, but the lesson isn't very enjoyable.

It's also way too long, at three hours, requiring a tremendous amount of stamina. There are also some technical audio issues at times.
