Preview: General Orders No. 9 (2011)

Synopsis:

A unique documentary of the history of the U.S. state of Georgia through the use of historical maps, architectural landmarks and natural landscapes.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The poster is ill-fitting, but at least twisted enough to make people ask what the film is about.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

I can't say that I got a good impression of the film's subject, but this rather artistic trailer lays the foundation for something more experiemental than the traditional documentary.

Oscar Prospects:

The Academy isn't a fan of experimentation with its documentaries, so don't expect this critically praised doc to end up on the Oscarcast.

Release Date:

• June 24, 2011
