This documentary by director Rosie Robinson dives into the Brighton Beach Busking scene. Busking, or street performing, is popular along Brighton Beach, drawing tourists and regulars alike to unique performances every day.
Két móló között examines how Beach Busking engages the local community, provides a stage for artists, and how social media can influence the performances of artists, for better or for worse. Featuring performances from over ten different Beach Buskers, each with a unique sound and musical composition, Robinson’s film transports viewers from their homes to Brighton Beach using stunning cinematography and storytelling.
What I enjoyed most about the film was how Robinson not only captured the performers but also their interactions with beach-goers as they listened to the music. Many visitors dance, film, and donate to the performers, creating an intimate connection between listeners and artists that is unique to busking. I also appreciate how Robinson gave a spotlight to so many diverse musical styles and artists—it provided the perfect musical backdrop for her narrative.
Overall score: 5/5 Csillagok
