A sweeping glance in the present tense

I'm not sure quite how to describe this documentary. On one hand it plays like a "Welcome to LA" film by the tourism board...that is if the tourism board were Latino and cared much more about the truth than the myth of the yellow brick road to Los Angeles. On the other hand, it lacks a foundation of history and fact to make any of its opinions (as balanced as they are) stick. It is told completely through interviews, with colorful characters, and even more colorful visuals (as it was shot completely in HD), and it paints a solid and tangible image of Los Angeles as city and a massive meta-culture. I simply wish in the end, (though perhaps this is the aim, to be aimless), the film had left me with a more steady grasp of what I had learned in the past hour and a half. It is a quick, colorful, musical documentary that is as vast and void of a central thought as its subject. Well worth watching if you are moving to L.A, especially if your dreams match your expectations.
