"For 50 years, Wiseman has been making documentaries on shoestring budgets with small crews, focusing on institutions....A Wiseman film works on you slowly and imperceptibly. He never stages interviews, interposes B-roll that he hasnāt filmed himself, or identifies speakers with onscreen titles." š
