Episode 126 of One Week Only! This is our "Youth in America" episode, with four terrific films centered around teenage life in the United States. Our key film this week is "We The Animals," a stunning coming-of-age drama about three Puerto Rican brothers growing up in upstate New York with and stuggling with their volatile parents. With gorgeous 16mm cinematography, thrilling hand-drawn animation and moving performances, Jeremiah Zagar's film is a breathtaking cinematic vision and one of the best films of the year. (35:10) We also review the experimental performance drama "Madeline's Madeline" starring an incredible Helena Howard, directed by Josephine Decker (9:10), the NYC skater girls drama "Skate Kitchen" directed by Crystal Moselle (18:10), and the coming-of-age skating documentary "Minding the Gap" directed by Bing Liu (27:15).
