CITY HALL (Frederick Wiseman 2020)

The city is Boston, one of the country's biggest and oldest. "City Hall" includes all the city government's wide reach, and it encompasses the far-ranging sympathies of its liberal Irish-American Mayor, Marty Walsh, son of immigrants, in his second term, and an impressive illustration of everything the man in Washington is not. This is partly a love letter to Marty Walsh. It shows what it's like to be called upon to speak at every kind of meeting and never get bored, never fail to rise to the occasion. An impressive man. Four and a half hours.
