Two films by Thom Andersen

I watched Thom Andersen’s Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003) several years ago. It’s an excellent film about movies set in LA.

I just watched Eadweard Muybridge, Zoopraxographer (1975) and realized later that both were done by the same director. Muybridge was a 19th-century pioneer in photography of people and animals in motion. The documentary is excellent and has many examples of his work.

Both films are available on discs which is how I watched them.

I haven’t watched it yet but this is Andersen’s 2010 short Get Out of the Car, also about Los Angeles.
